Is 150-degree astigmatism serious in children?

If the child is diagnosed with astigmatism of 150 degrees after examination, first of all, I personally think that this is not a very serious situation clinically, and parents should not be overly worried. Astigmatism usually causes vision loss and eye fatigue. However, if it is a D degree of astigmatism, it usually does not have much effect on the patient's vision. In this case, there is no need to wear glasses for corrective treatment, and regular observation is sufficient.

Symptoms of astigmatism and amblyopia in children

Astigmatism is mainly due to the different refractive power of the diameters of the cornea or lens, parallel rays enter the eye, can not form a focus on the retina, but form a refractive state of two focal lines before and after, children's astigmatism is mostly congenital astigmatism, a small part also has inflammation, corneal scarring caused by trauma or irregular astigmatism caused by keratoconus. The clinical manifestations include visual impairment, except for slight astigmatism, both near and far visual impairment, secondary vision fatigue, triple compensation for cephalic position, head tilt and torticollis, etc., four squinting vision, squinting near and far, in order to have the effect of pinhole and fissure, and reduce astigmatism. 5. Patients with moderate to severe astigmatism can also affect vision, visual development, and cause amblyopia.

Can astigmatism be cured in children?

Astigmatism is a kind of refractive error, which refers to the different refractive power of the eyeball on different meridians, and the parallel rays of light cannot form a focal point on the retina after being refracted by the refractive system of the eye, but form two focal lines, and finally form an unclear image on the retina.Astigmatism in children is mostly caused by congenital factors, and acquired astigmatism is often caused by corneal diseases, trauma, eyelid masses, eye surgery and other factors. Moderate to high astigmatism, which can cause amblyopia, requires refractive correction and can be corrected with glasses, including glasses or contact lenses. Astigmatism in children cannot be cured.
