Question
Will insufficient reserves of pediatric myopia and hyperopia inevitably lead to myopia? A child who just turned five recently had a mydriasis examination at the hospital, with an uncorrected visual acuity of 0.5 in the left eye and 0.6 in the right eye, with astigmatism of -125 in the left eye and -150 in the right eye, and a myopia reserve value of only 50. The corrected visual acuity is 0.7 in the left eye and 0.9 in the right eye.
Answer
It is not recommended to take immediate action as the child is still young and their skin is quite delicate. If amblyopia is caused by a low monocular visual acuity due to neural inhibition, black patch treatment can be effective, and it should be maintained for as long as possible to consolidate vision. If it is due to hyperopic or myopic amblyopia, there is no need to wear glasses. Detailed consultation required! If it is really necessary, it is recommended to wear glasses. Regular check-ups are essential; if there are any fluctuations in vision, treatment measures should be taken immediately.
