What to do if a child is nearsighted

Myopia in children can be corrected by wearing suitable glasses, and can also be treated by surgery after the age of 18. After myopia, it is also necessary to develop good eye habits to slow down the development of the disease. 1. Wearing corrective glasses: Myopia in children mainly manifests itself as a decrease in vision, which may affect normal life and study, so they should wear appropriate glasses, such as frames and corneal contact lenses, in order to correct their vision. 2. Surgery: After the child reaches 18 years old, if the refractive state is stable within two years and there are no other contraindications, surgery can be considered to correct vision, such as laser corneal refractive surgery. 3. Develop good eye habits: usually should maintain good eye habits, and reasonable diet, to ensure adequate nutritional intake, in order to slow down the growth of myopia. Children should pay attention to myopia, and take appropriate corrective measures in a timely manner, but under the guidance of a specialist.
