If your child’s astigmatism has increased by 100 degrees in a year, you should avoid prolonged use of your child’s eyes, and you can correct it by wearing frame glasses or corneal contact lenses. You should also be alert to whether your child is suffering from cone cornea, and if it is caused by cone cornea, then you can also treat it through surgical methods such as corneal collagen cross-linking surgery.
A child’s astigmatism has increased by 100 degrees in a year. If the child’s degree is less than 150 degrees at this time, then he/she can wear frame astigmatism lenses or soft corneal contact lenses to treat the astigmatism, and if the child’s degree is greater than 150 degrees, he/she will need to wear hard corneal contact lenses to correct his/her visual acuity.
In addition, since the child’s astigmatism grows more rapidly, it is necessary to improve the corneal topography and other tests to rule out cone cornea. If the increase in astigmatism is due to conical cornea, it can be treated by wearing rigid corneal contact lenses or by corneal collagen cross-linking.
If you find that your child’s astigmatism has increased by 100 diopters in a year, you need to consult a doctor promptly to identify the cause of the problem and follow the doctor’s instructions for correction or treatment.
