Wearing glasses for high astigmatism requires a refractive examination. Children and adolescents up to the age of 12 should have a dilated optometry before being prescribed glasses.
For people with astigmatism, it is important to measure the exact amount of astigmatism, including the amount of astigmatism and myopia. The axis in which the astigmatism is located also needs to be accurately detected, otherwise the glasses will be hard to see clearly, so people with astigmatism should go to the hospital for an accurate refractive examination.
If the child is 12 years old or less, go for a dilated optometry. Teenagers should have a quick dilated optometry so that the refractive error measured is more accurate, including the accuracy of the astigmatism and the direction of the axial position, on the basis of which the glasses will be fitted. If the astigmatism is not corrected there will be noticeable symptoms.
