Children with myopia should be examined by dilated optometry to determine whether it is true myopia or pseudomyopia. If it is pseudomyopia, it can be eliminated by changing the bad habits of the eyes, and if it is true myopia, it needs to be corrected with eyeglasses.
Myopia can be categorized into true myopia and pseudomyopia with different treatments. If a child suspects myopia, he or she can undergo a dilated optometry examination at the hospital ophthalmology department to clarify the type of myopia. Pseudomyopia is caused by ciliary muscle spasm, children need to change bad eye habits, reduce the time of close-distance eye use, in order to release the ciliary muscle spasm, relieve eye discomfort.
True myopia cannot be reversed, but children can wear appropriate glasses to correct myopia and improve their vision. Children should also avoid eye fatigue, and the progression of myopia can be controlled through eye rest and outdoor activities.
Children with myopia are advised to consult a doctor to evaluate their condition and follow the doctor’s instructions.
