The normal eye refraction for a 5-year-old child is about 210 to 220 degrees of hyperopia.
The age of 0 to 6 years is an important stage in the development of a baby’s vision, and the standard of development changes from age to age. According to the normal level of vision development in children of all ages, the normal refractive error of a 5-year-old baby’s eyes is about +2.10D to +2.20D, which is 210 to 220 degrees of physiologic hyperopia, and below this value is more likely to develop into myopia.
With the age of 5 years old children, the reserve value of hyperopia will gradually decrease, and the visual acuity will be gradually developed and perfected, generally by the age of 15 years old, the reserve value of hyperopia can be reduced to 0 degrees, and the visual acuity of 1.0 or more than 1.0 is a normal situation.
Protecting children’s eyesight should start at an early age and stay away from electronic products. Once a child develops myopia, he or she should go to the hospital immediately for an optometry examination and corrective treatment under the advice of a doctor.
