Winter break is approaching, children will end a semester of intense study, ushering in a good time to relax. As parents, it’s important to take care of your child’s eye health at this time, and give your eyes a checkup. Strabismus, amblyopia and refractive error are common eye diseases in children. These eye diseases can have no signs and often go unnoticed by parents and children, but if not detected and treated in time can often result in lifelong low vision or loss of stereopsis, affecting future career choices, people’s daily work and life, and even affecting people’s self-confidence. This is why it is important to have a comprehensive eye exam. The winter vacation period is also the best time to treat strabismus and ciliary muscle paralysis for optometry and glasses replacement. If parents find that their child’s vision is declining, they should take their child to the hospital ophthalmology department for a vision health checkup earlier in the winter break so as not to affect their learning in the new semester after school starts.
