Question
My child was born not long ago, and their eyes always tear up, and they tend to cry a lot. Can children with myopia wear glasses?
Answer
It is recommended for children to wear glasses long-term to correct their vision. After developing myopia, wearing glasses serves not only to correct visual acuity but also to prevent the imbalance of the eye’s accommodation and convergence functions. Therefore, even if you have a mild myopia of less than 300 degrees and it has affected the balance of eye accommodation and convergence, especially if there are signs of latent strabismus, glasses must be worn to avoid further loss of balance in accommodation and convergence, which could negatively impact the healthy development of the eyes over time.
