The treatment of astigmatism in a 3-year-old child mainly depends on the quality of vision and the severity of visual fatigue. If the child has regular astigmatism, does not cause visual impairment, and has no visual fatigue, no treatment is required. If children have visual fatigue, regardless of the degree of astigmatism, they need to have their pupils dilated for refraction and wear appropriate corrective glasses. In principle, all degrees of astigmatism must be corrected, but if the child's astigmatism is too high and cannot adapt, he or she can first wear low-degree corrective glasses.

Parents should pay close attention and take their baby to an eye hospital for examination if they find any eye problems. It is best to have the first full eye examination at the age of 3-4 years old, and then have regular eye examinations 1-2 times a year. Guide young children to develop good hygiene habits and not to touch their eyes with their hands or other objects to avoid transmitting eye diseases.

In the end, due to excessive use of the eyes, parents go to consult what to do about the astigmatism of the three-year-old baby's glasses. Isn't it too late? Here, it is recommended that parents must cultivate good living habits for their babies, so as to avoid damage to the baby's eyes.
