Children with one myopic eye and one normal eye, i.e. monocular myopia, should be examined in time and given glasses to correct the myopic eye, and myopia correction surgery is feasible in adulthood.
Myopia in one eye is generally related to congenital and acquired poor eye habits. If the child’s myopia is congenital, the difference between the myopia of one eye and the other eye is usually large, which may result in refractive error, and the child can wear a single corneal contact lens to correct the myopia and improve the visual acuity.
In addition, if the child does not want to wear glasses in adulthood, corneal laser surgery and other myopia treatment can be used to correct myopia and improve vision.
If the myopia of one eye is caused by acquired eye habits, the child should also correct bad eye habits, sit properly, and maintain the principle of “one inch, one fist, one foot” (holding a pen one inch, the body is one circle away from the desk, and the eyes are one foot away from the book), to avoid the progression of myopia.
Children with myopia are advised to consult a doctor in time to assess their condition and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
