Also, parents should take the child to the hospital for regular check-ups, so that the eyes will heal quickly. Parents can also give their children 1% atropine eye drops twice a day. After a few days, they can take their children to a professional institution for retinoscopy, which may have a certain effect.

When children suffer from astigmatism, they need to go to the hospital for correction. If the correction is appropriate and not too serious, it can be completely cured. When correcting astigmatism, children should also pay attention to it in their daily lives. For example, the light should be sufficient when reading, and the light should preferably come from the left rear. In addition, the posture and habits of reading and writing should also be correct.

And keep a distance between 30 cm and 40 cm, try to avoid reading in a shaking car, and don't read while lying in bed, as these will affect the recovery of astigmatism. It is best not to read or watch TV continuously for more than 60 minutes to prevent excessive eye fatigue.

3. Note

During the treatment of children's astigmatism, parents must also pay close attention. If they find other problems with their children's eyes, they should go to an ophthalmology hospital for further examination in time. In the later stage, they should also pay attention to regular eye examinations to avoid worsening of astigmatism. Patients with astigmatism must go to a regular hospital for relevant examinations to determine the degree of their astigmatism and prevent errors. Never go to a small hospital for examination, as the results of examinations in small hospitals are generally not very accurate. In daily life, patients with astigmatism need to wear glasses correctly. Wearing glasses with incorrect degrees for a long time will reduce their vision, which will easily make them become patients with high astigmatism.
