Question
The child’s eyes have been watery and they often cry shortly after birth. How should one handle a child’s myopia of 75 degrees?
Answer
Early myopia can be corrected with glasses, and it’s advisable to have an eye examination at an ophthalmology clinic. For more severe cases, laser surgery may be an option; just be sure to pay attention to post-operative care. Avoid eating irritating foods, and try to prevent excessive eye strain as much as possible. There are many treatment methods for childhood amblyopia, including occlusion therapy, suppression therapy, optotype therapy, afterimage therapy, red filter therapy, fine motor skill training, and binocular vision training, among others.
