The danger of myopia in children’s eyes is that it affects naked eye vision, and high levels of myopia can also lead to fundopathy.
Myopia is a common type of refractive error that often occurs in childhood and adolescence. Simple myopia is characterized by blurred vision at a distance, clear vision at a distance, and squinting when looking at distant objects. At the same time, myopia tends to lead to weakening of the accommodation function, which may lead to esotropia or exotropia.
When myopia exceeds 600 diopters in children, in addition to poor distance vision, it is often accompanied by poor night vision, mosquitoes, floaters, flashes of light, etc. Often, due to the prolongation of the eye axis, the posterior pole of the eyeball is dilated, and posterior scleral staphyloma is formed. Compared with normal people, the risk of fundus lesions such as retinal detachment is also greatly elevated.
Children with myopia should go to the ophthalmology department of a hospital in a timely manner to be diagnosed by a doctor with the exact amount of myopia, and then be instructed to undergo corrective measures to avoid myopia from growing.
