Recently 6-year-old Xiao Liang came to Jinan Central Hospital for treatment because of myopia, and like Xiao Liang's parents, many parents have certain doubts, does children's myopia need to wear glasses to correct it?
Zhu Wei, deputy director of the Department of Ophthalmology at Jinan Central Hospital, said: "For preschool children, the focus is on the prevention and treatment of amblyopia. If myopia is low and the naked eye vision is not lower than the lower normal visual acuity limit at that age, it can be temporarily observed. If the degree is relatively high, there is a risk of myopia, it is recommended to wear glasses in time. For children over the age of 6 years old, it is recommended to wear glasses even if the degree is low because of the need to attend class. ”
Director Zhu said that before children wear glasses, they must pay attention to eye position examination. "Pay attention to whether the child has strabismus, but also dilated refraction. Myopia in children, especially under 12 years old, is very necessary for mydriatic refraction. Especially when the naked eye vision examination and the computer refraction result are very different, it is necessary to dilated mydriatic refraction and exclude the factors that regulate tension. ”
In addition to myopia, astigmatism is also a common vision problem for many children. "For astigmatism, if the degree is not large, at about 100 degrees, the child's vision is in the normal range, at this time you can observe first; if the astigmatism is relatively large, the child's vision is relatively poor, the child looks at things when the symptoms of crooked head, squinting, visual fatigue, etc., to go to the hospital in time for examination, wear glasses in time."
So, for the common myopia and astigmatism problems in children, do children need to wear glasses all the time? Director Zhu said that this needs to depend on the situation. "For children with relatively low degrees, if the naked eye vision is better, around 0.5 or 0.6, you can only wear it during class, and you can take it off first when you are out of class, physical education class, and outdoor activities." For those with relatively high degrees, it is recommended to wear it frequently. For children with incorrect eye position, such as combined with internal hidden oblique, you can wear it when you look far away, and take it off when you look close; for children who have combined external hidden oblique, it is recommended to wear it frequently. ”
