Question
The child is currently 5 years old and has been diagnosed with high myopia. The parent is asking whether the glasses can be removed after wearing them.
Answer
Based on the parent’s description, the child, at just 5 years old, has a 400-degree myopia. It is recommended that the parent take the child to the hospital for further examination to determine if there are any issues such as strabismus or amblyopia. If the child’s vision is normal and there is no discomfort, no special treatment is needed; however, if there is eye fatigue or other vision problems, appropriate convex lenses should be worn to correct the vision. For children with a higher degree of myopia, especially those with esotropia, it is advisable to wear glasses for correction as early as possible.
