Question
My child has been saying they can’t see things clearly for two weeks. After a thorough examination at the hospital, their vision is 0.6. The doctor prescribed three days of mydriatic eye drops and suggested a re-examination in 20 days. Is this myopia? Do they need to wear glasses? Are there any correction methods?
Answer
Based on the preliminary assessment, it’s likely that the child has myopia. The doctor recommends wearing glasses, as this is a method of treating myopia. It’s suggested to go to a regular hospital ophthalmology department to get glasses, ensuring that the eye prescription is accurately measured. The principle of lens fitting is to choose the lowest degree of lens that can provide the best vision. Additionally, consider wearing contact lenses.
