Whether or not a child with a visual acuity of 4.9 is considered to be myopic needs to be analyzed and judged in conjunction with the child’s age and the results of the dilated pupil examination.
If a child under 6 years of age has a visual acuity of 4.9, he/she is not considered myopic because his/her vision is not well developed. As the child grows older, his/her vision will gradually return to normal. If children over 6 years old have a visual acuity of 4.9, they should go to the ophthalmology department of a regular hospital for pupil dilation and optometry to determine whether there is a refractive error and to rule out the possibility of pseudo-myopia at an early stage.
In short, children’s visual acuity of 4.9, does not necessarily mean that myopia, it is recommended to go to the hospital to improve the relevant ophthalmology examination, a clear diagnosis of true myopia or pseudomyopia. Once the examination is clear for the true myopia, should be combined with the professional ophthalmologist’s analysis and diagnosis, choose the appropriate vision correction program. Usually, it is necessary to use the eyes reasonably to avoid overuse of the eyes, which may lead to visual fatigue or vision loss.
