Can children with astigmatism 200 degrees without glasses?

Whether children's astigmatism of 200 degrees needs to be corrected by glasses needs to be judged according to the specific situation. If the child does not have uncomfortable symptoms such as blurred vision and visual fatigue in daily life, no special treatment is generally required; However, if the child has obvious clinical manifestations, it is recommended to seek medical attention in time and choose the appropriate treatment under the guidance of a doctor.

1. No glasses are required

Babies under 1 year of age: Because the eyeball is still developing and the curvature of the cornea is still changing, astigmatism may gradually disappear with age;

Children aged 3-5 years: At this time, the eye adjustment ability is strong, and it is in the critical period of visual development, if astigmatism does not affect vision, it usually does not need to be treated;

Elementary school students over 6 years old: If astigmatism has little effect on vision, does not cause amblyopia or strabismus, and does not cause symptoms such as blurred vision and visual fatigue, you can also do without glasses.

2. The need for glasses

1. Mild astigmatism: For patients with mild astigmatism, if they only show symptoms of slight blurred vision, they can be observed for a period of time and regularly review the fundus and refractive status to see if there is a tendency to aggravate. If there is no significant change, it is possible to leave the measures on hold for the time being;

2. Severe astigmatism: When astigmatism reaches a certain level, it will have a certain impact on life, such as dizziness, headache, nausea, vomiting and other phenomena, which need to be improved by wearing glasses to avoid further development of the disease.

Parents should also pay attention to avoid letting their children use electronic products for a long time, and at the same time ensure sufficient sleep time, minimize staying up late, and avoid long-term work or study, otherwise it will also increase the speed of astigmatism.
