What to do if your child is nearsighted at age 7

Myopia occurs in children at age 7 and also depends on the vision without glasses as well as the degree of nearsightedness. If the myopia has exceeded 100 degrees, or if the vision without glasses is significantly lower than 0.8, myopic glasses are needed to correct the vision. If the vision is not corrected, the child will not be able to see the blackboard and affect learning, and the uncorrected myopia will stimulate the myopia to grow faster. Therefore, if the vision is not ideal, it is recommended to wear myopic glasses to improve vision. In addition, if your child’s myopia grows faster each year, especially if it exceeds 50 degrees, you can consider wearing keratoplasty lenses or low concentration atropine drops to control the growth of myopia. These two methods are clinically recognized as ways to slow down the growth of myopia.
