Question
A 7-year-old child has myopia of 270 degrees and astigmatism of 25 degrees. I would like to inquire about how to handle this situation? Are there considerations for using plum needle therapy, eye patches, and oral medications? Are these methods effective?
Answer
For a 7-year-old child with 270 degrees of myopia and 25 degrees of astigmatism, plum needle therapy can help alleviate the progression of the degree but may cause localized pain. Eye patches and oral medications can be used as part of an overall treatment plan. Although plum needle therapy cannot completely cure axial myopia, it has a significant effect on controlling the expansion of the degree, and it can also be used by adults.
