A 5-year-old child with 100 degrees of myopia should first find out whether it is true myopia or pseudomyopia. If it is pseudomyopia, the child should be instructed to develop good eye habits to eliminate pseudomyopia. If it is true myopia, glasses can be worn to correct myopia and improve vision.
A 5-year-old child with 100 degrees of myopia needs to go to the hospital ophthalmology department for a dilated optometry examination before he or she can distinguish whether the myopia is caused by true myopia or pseudomyopia, and the treatment options for the two are different. Pseudomyopia can be reversed. Children need to develop good eye habits, relax their eyes and relieve eye discomfort.
The child needs to try to control the time spent using electronic devices such as cell phones, TVs, and computers to relax the eyes in order to eliminate pseudomyopia. However, true myopia cannot be reversed at present, and children can wear glasses to correct myopia and improve their vision.
It is recommended that children with myopia should seek timely medical attention to assess their condition and undergo treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
