How long does it usually take for children to recover from farsightedness

  How long it takes for children to recover from hyperopia is related to the degree of hyperopia and individual adjustment ability, which should be analyzed on a case-by-case basis and should not be generalized.  Farsightedness in children usually refers to the fact that all children have a farsightedness reserve since birth, and generally the farsightedness is low, within 200 degrees, which is normal and does not need to be treated. As children grow older, the degree of hyperopia will gradually decrease and can be gradually adjusted to orthokeratology at the age of 12, and the eye will be completely stable after the age of 18. If children’s hyperopia is much higher than their peers, such as 500 degrees of hyperopia, and has affected vision or accompanied by amblyopia and other complications, they need to be corrected through frame glasses in time, and the specific recovery time varies from person to person. If they can actively cooperate with the treatment, they may recover before the age of 12; however, if they miss the time of treatment, they may not be able to recover to normal if higher degrees of hyperopia still exist after the age of 12, and the hyperopia will always exist.  When children have difficulty seeing, tilted head or strabismus, parents are advised to bring them to the ophthalmology department of a regular hospital in time to have their vision determined by a professional doctor and to determine the treatment plan so as not to delay the treatment.
