What should I do if my child has farsightedness? Parents can do this

Children's eye health has attracted widespread attention from the society. As parents, we must pay attention to our children's eye health. When a child develops farsightedness, I believe every parent will be very anxious. So what should they do?

1. The best time to treat children's hyperopia

It is estimated that more than 90% of preschool children have farsightedness. Among these, most are physiological developmental hyperopia. As age increases, the degree of hyperopia can gradually decrease and no correction is required. However, 20%-25% of hyperopia is pathological. For example, some children have delayed or stopped eye development due to genetics and external environmental influences, resulting in hyperopia.

The reasonable and effective treatment for children with hyperopia is to wear glasses for correction. If parents find that their children do not like reading, and say that they feel the handwriting is blurred, their eyes are swollen, and they have headaches after reading for a long time, this means that the child is likely to suffer from farsightedness and they should go to the hospital for mydriasis refraction in time.

2. Correction Method

General treatment: Generally speaking, mild hyperopia does not need correction if it does not cause visual impairment, visual fatigue or strabismus, and the general health condition is good; on the contrary, if any of the above conditions are not met, appropriate glasses should be worn for correction.

2. Lens correction: Wearing glasses is the most basic treatment for correcting children's hyperopia. Regarding mild hyperopia, which does not affect your life or study, it is not necessary to wear glasses immediately.

3. Scleral reinforcement surgery for children: High hyperopia in children under 6 years old is more common due to acquired or hereditary factors, and is often a form of hyperopia. These children often have poor vision and unsatisfactory corrected vision. For progressive hyperopia, posterior scleral reinforcement surgery can be considered. In clinical practice, this method is used to treat high hyperopia, which can not only prevent the progression of hyperopia, but also sometimes improve naked eye vision.
