How to treat astigmatism in children's eyes?

Astigmatism in small children can be corrected with general treatment, glasses or contact lenses. If this does not improve in the above ways, surgery may be considered.

1. General treatment

Babies under 1 year old are still developing their eyes, and astigmatism is normal and usually does not require special treatment. As we age, astigmatism gradually disappears. You should pay attention to the rational use of your eyes and avoid looking at electronic products at close range for a long time, so as not to aggravate the symptoms.

2. Wear glasses

For children with mild astigmatism, they can go to the ophthalmology department of a regular hospital and choose the right glasses for correction under the guidance of the doctor, so as to achieve better results. However, it is important to pay attention to regular check-ups so that you can keep abreast of the development of the disease.

3. Wear contact lenses

If the degree of astigmatism is relatively large and affects normal vision, you can also use this special contact lens to correct it as prescribed by your doctor, so that your vision can become clearer. However, in daily life, it is necessary to strictly control the time of wearing glasses, and do not exceed 8 hours a day.

4. Surgical treatment

If the results of the above treatments are not satisfactory, they can also be treated with laser cutting or lens implantation in adulthood.

It is recommended that parents bring their children to the ophthalmology department to complete relevant examinations and make a clear diagnosis before symptomatic treatment. You should also pay attention to eye care, ensure adequate sleep time, and avoid staying up late.
