Question
The child’s left eye vision dropped from 0.6 to 0.15 last month, and the right eye vision is 1.0, as checked at school! They were treated at an ophthalmology hospital six months ago, but were not given glasses, and there was little effect. Please help.
Answer
Based on your description, it is best to take the child to the hospital for a detailed eye examination and precise determination of the refractive power. After a thorough examination, consider getting glasses. You can also consult about orthokeratology, a type of rigid gas-permeable contact lens that is worn before going to bed for a nap and removed after waking up in the morning. This allows for clear vision throughout the day without the need for glasses. It can also help suppress the progression of myopia.
