The child has a little astigmatism

Children nowadays are exposed to mobile phones and computers at a very young age. At the same time, they are attracted to the games on electronic devices. Looking at computers or mobile phones for a long time can easily cause astigmatism problems in the eyes. This is the impact that technology has brought to us, so our mothers must control the time their children spend using computers and mobile phones. Once we find that a child has astigmatism, we should take the child to the hospital for examination in time and adjust the astigmatism problem as soon as possible to avoid affecting the child's vision.

What should we do if children have astigmatism? First of all, we need to know that there are many types of astigmatism. Some people will have physiological astigmatism at ordinary times. In real life, it is rare to see eyes without any astigmatism symptoms. Patients with physiological astigmatism generally do not have severe eye degrees and do not require treatment. However, patients with severe astigmatism are rare in clinical practice. It should be mentioned that if a baby has severe astigmatism, he or she may also have problems with hyperopia and myopia. What to do if your child has astigmatism?

First of all, parents should know that when checking and confirming the diagnosis, they can use the method of mydriasis refraction. This is a method of treatment using some drugs. After systemic treatment, it can make the ciliary muscle tissue of the eye completely paralyzed, and then the patient can be tested when the eye loses its regulatory function. The accuracy of this test result is also very high. Parents should pay attention to children's astigmatism. Once the baby's astigmatism problem is confirmed, if it is over 100 degrees, timely treatment and correction should be carried out.

For some babies aged 3-5 years old, if the results of a vision test are found to be above 0.5, and a mydriasis refraction test is performed to confirm that the astigmatism degree has not reached 100 degrees, but is less than 75 degrees, parents do not need to be too anxious to treat this level of astigmatism, nor do they need to take deliberate measures for their children. However, if the baby's astigmatism is greater than 100 degrees, you need to pay attention. This situation can easily lead to eye fatigue in the baby's daily life, and in severe cases it will cause amblyopia. At this time, you can give the child small glasses for correction. Wearing glasses correctly can effectively delay the development of myopia for children and play a role in preventing and treating myopia.

Parents of children with astigmatism should pay attention to taking their children to relevant hospitals for regular check-ups. At the same time, because astigmatism can become more serious due to bad eye habits, parents should urge their children to develop correct eye habits, avoid watching TV and using computers for a long time, and develop good eye postures. These are all effective measures to prevent astigmatism from becoming more serious.
