Will refractive error in children heal on its own?

Children's refractive errors cannot be ignored, because allowing them to develop may cause more adverse effects and worsen the problem of myopia. Therefore, once these symptoms appear, you should go to a regular ophthalmology hospital for treatment.

1. Children are very prone to refractive errors, and the harmful effects of refractive errors in children are also very great. Only by understanding these hazards can parents pay more attention to the care of children's eyes.

2. Patients with alternating strabismus may have normal vision in both eyes, but can only use one eye to see. In addition to not having a broader field of vision than normal people, more importantly, they do not have the ability to fuse images and stereoscopic vision, and cannot accurately distinguish the front and back distances of objects. People with strabismus cannot engage in jobs that require stereoscopic vision, such as driving and surveying.

3. There are also some patients with paralytic strabismus who see double objects due to paralysis of the eye muscles. In order to overcome the double vision, they use special head positions such as tilting the head, turning the face to the side, and lifting the chin to compensate, which is medically called "compensatory head position." For children, this not only affects their appearance, but also causes skeletal deformities throughout the body.

4. It can be seen that the harm of strabismus not only affects beauty, but in order to reduce and avoid the above-mentioned serious complications, it must be taken seriously and treated early.

5. We must do a good job of prevention and treatment in daily life, especially for children. So how to prevent and treat strabismus in children? When reading printed pictures, the handwriting should be clear, be careful not to read while lying down, and do not watch TV or play video games and computers for a long time. It is best not to look at three-dimensional pictures.
