Common Eye Problems and Prevention Methods for Children!

Each child’s vision changes fastest in the first 3 years of life, and children’s vision generally begins to stabilize around 7 years old. When the child is 3 years old, the parents can check whether he has eye diseases in advance. If the child has eye diseases, they must take timely intervention measures. Here are some common eye diseases in children that you should know.

1. Myopia

Myopia means seeing close objects clearly, while seeing distant objects blurry. Experts believe that myopia is inherited to a certain degree. If one parent has myopia, the child is 40% likely to have myopia, and if both parents are myopia, the child's probability of myopia rises to 60%.

Treatment: There is no special diagnosis and treatment method for myopia. Myopia usually deepens with age and stabilizes after adulthood. However, effective measures such as wearing blue light kids glasses, children blue light blocking glasses, choosing best blue light blocking glasses for kids, and early morning prevention can slow down the growth of children's myopia.

Reminder: Myopic children often have squint when looking at close objects. Therefore, parents should remind children not to get too close when using electronic products, also pay attention to the usual eye habits and eye hygiene.

2. Hyperopia

Hyperopia is cause by the child's congenital, developmental and other reasons. Every child has hyperopia when he is young. As the body develops, the eye axis keeps growing, and the degree of hyperopia gradually decreases, becoming emmetropia around the age of 10. But children with short eye axis will have moderate to high hyperopia, which will cause the child to blur his vision and gradually develop amblyopia.

Treatment: With the improvement of eye development, these symptoms will usually disappear naturally at around 10 years old. If necessary, you can go to an eye examination to understand the cause of the hyperopia and the severity of the problem. If it is severe, it can be corrected by wearing children’s blue light blocking glasses, kids blue blocker glasses and children’s blue light glasses designated by the doctor.

Reminder: Children with hyperopia sometimes have symptoms of eye fatigue. If the child has headaches, fatigue, and vomiting, especially when doing close-up eye activities such as reading and drawing, it should attract the attention of parents.

3. Astigmatism

Astigmatism is a natural corneal morphology and generally does not increase or decrease. Astigmatism patients may have double vision.

Treatment: There is currently no effective way to reduce or eliminate the degree of astigmatism in children. It can be solved by surgery after adults. Astigmatism patients need to be customized when they are equipped with glasses.

Reminder: Children with astigmatism often have headaches, eye fatigue, strabismus, and decreased reading ability. Parents should take the child to do a detailed eye examination if they find that the child is abnormal.

4. Strabismus

Since the two eyes cannot be focused on one object at the same time, as a result, two images appear in the brain, and secondary amblyopia is often prone to appear. It is best to correct strabismus before the age of 3, otherwise the child may have various eye diseases at the age of 5-6.

Treatment: Wear suitable glasses under the guidance of an ophthalmologist. Sometimes, the doctor will recommend covering the eyes with normal vision with a cloth for several months, so that the eyes with weak eyesight can improve vision. If the degree of strabismus exceeds 15°, it should be treated surgically.

Reminder: The child’s eyes cannot be focused on one point. You will find that the child always tilts his head in order to see objects clearly with good eyes. When there is no improvement after many corrections, you need to take your child to do a detailed eye examination. Try to achieve early detection and early treatment.
