What Are the Treatments for Astigmatism in Children?

Astigmatism refers to many light images that are not scattered into a single point after being refracted by the refractive system of the eyeball. Astigmatism brings great visual impact to patients. In addition to causing visual fatigue, it also affects the child's visual development during the child's development, which causes the child's amblyopia and strabismus.

Astigmatism refers to many light images that are not scattered into a single point after being refracted by the refractive system of the eyeball. Astigmatism brings great visual impact to patients. In addition to causing visual fatigue, it also affects the child's visual development during the child's development, which causes the child's amblyopia and strabismus.

1. Visual fatigue: In order to improve vision, patients with mild astigmatism often use self-correction methods such as change adjustment, squinting, torticollis, etc. Continuous adjustment of tension and effort can easily cause visual fatigue, and middle-high astigmatism cannot improve vision due to subjective efforts. , But the symptoms of fatigue are not obvious.
2. Vision loss: The degree of astigmatism due to low and moderate astigmatism, high and low diopters, and the direction of the axis are greatly different. Astigmatism that belongs to the physiological range usually does not have any effect on myopia and farsightedness. Astigmatism in height is mostly linear because of the combined diameter Amblyopia or other abnormalities, visual loss is obvious, and it is difficult to obtain good corrected vision.
3. Large difference in curvature radii: Because the curvature and half-length of the meridians of the cornea and lens are not the same, usually the difference between the curvature radii of the horizontal and vertical meridians is the largest.
4. The dangers of astigmatism in children also include other eye diseases: caused by corneal lens lesions such as keratoconus, corneal clouding, and early senile cataracts.

1. If the child has regular astigmatism, it does not cause visual impairment, and can not be treated without visual fatigue.
2. If the child has visual fatigue, regardless of the degree of astigmatism, even if the degree of astigmatism is very small, it is necessary to use mydriatic optometry and wear appropriate corrective glasses.
3. If the child's astigmatism is too high and cannot adapt, you can first wear low-level corrective glasses, slowly adapt, and then wear glasses with full height correction.
Parents and friends are advised to guide young children to understand those dangerous games and toys to reduce eye trauma. Instruct young children to develop good hygiene habits, and do not touch the eyes casually with their hands or their articles, to avoid infectious eye diseases, and to minimize going out if infected with eye diseases.
