Myopic children can have their myopia corrected and improve their vision with prescription lenses. Surgery is usually not performed due to the young age and the fact that myopia has not yet stabilized.
Myopia is a type of refractive error, the cause of which is related to factors such as heredity and prolonged close eye use. Since children’s eyes are not yet fully developed and are relatively unstable, the risk of surgery is higher, and myopia surgery is usually not recommended for children with myopia.
When the patient is over 18 years old and has stable myopia, and the myopia has been developing steadily for more than 2 years, and the annual increase of myopia refraction does not exceed 50 diopters, refractive surgery can be performed under the guidance of the doctor to correct the myopia and improve the visual acuity.
It is recommended that children with myopia should consult a doctor in time to assess their condition and follow the doctor’s instructions to choose the appropriate treatment.
