What should I do if my child has astigmatism and farsightedness? Do I have to wear glasses
Whether children with astigmatism and farsightedness need to wear glasses should be judged according to the specific situation. If you have mild astigmatism and farsightedness and have little impact on your vision, you don't need glasses. However, if there is significant vision loss, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time and treat it accordingly under the guidance of a doctor.
1. If you don't need to wear glasses
1. Mild astigmatism: If the astigmatism is within 50 degrees, it usually does not cause obvious symptoms, so it can be corrected without glasses;
2. Mild farsightedness: Under normal circumstances, children under the age of 3 have physiological farsightedness, which is a normal phenomenon and does not require special treatment.
However, if there is still farsightedness after 3 years of age, it is considered to be caused by pathological factors, such as improper use of eyes, etc., and it can be improved by wearing glasses according to the doctor's instructions.
2. If you need to wear glasses
1. Moderate to high astigmatism: If the child suffers from medium to high astigmatism, there may be blurred vision, and even accompanied by headache, nausea and other symptoms, in this case, you need to wear glasses to improve your vision, so as not to continue to develop the disease and affect eye health;
2. Severe farsightedness: If the child suffers from severe farsightedness, there will also be symptoms of blurred vision, and it will also be accompanied by squinting, squinting to look at objects, etc., which also need to be corrected by wearing glasses.
In daily life, we should also pay attention to the rational use of eyes, and try not to read books or electronic products at close range for a long time, otherwise it may cause eye fatigue, thereby aggravating the degree of astigmatism and farsightedness. Also, avoid rubbing your eyes frequently to avoid infection caused by bacteria entering your eyes.
