Generally speaking, children with astigmatism over 100 diopters, which affects their vision, need glasses.
Children with less than 100 degrees of astigmatism are considered to have mild astigmatism, and if it does not have a significant effect on their vision, they do not need eyeglasses. If the astigmatism of a child exceeds 100 degrees, causing vision loss, resulting in poor visual quality, or even causing amblyopia, the child should go to the ophthalmology department of a regular hospital for dilated optometry, combined with the professional ophthalmologist’s examination and diagnostic advice, and choose to wear glasses for correction.
When children have visual abnormalities, it is recommended to go to the ophthalmology department of the hospital as soon as possible for examination, and decide whether to wear glasses for correction under the guidance of the doctor in combination with the specific examination results. If the astigmatism is more than 100 degrees and not corrected with glasses in time, it can lead to further increase in astigmatism and decrease in visual acuity, which will also affect the quality of vision.
