Question
The child’s eyes have been tearing up since birth, and they always seem to be crying. Do children with astigmatism need to wear glasses?
Answer
Generally speaking, astigmatism can be categorized into many types. We recommend that you take your child to the hospital for a detailed examination by a doctor. According to your description, it seems that your child’s astigmatism can be corrected. We suggest you visit a regular hospital’s ophthalmology department for an eye examination and prescription of glasses as soon as possible, and pay special attention to the prescription and axis of the glasses. As long as the correction is appropriate, the degree of the eyes will not become increasingly large.
