Whether or not a child with 175 degrees of myopia needs glasses is related to the type of myopia: if it is pseudomyopia, glasses are not needed; if it is true myopia, glasses are needed.
Pseudomyopia is a relatively common type of myopia in children, which is reversible myopia and is related to the ciliary muscle spasm inside the eyeball caused by the child’s overuse of the eyes. As long as the child develops healthy eye habits and avoids visual fatigue, pseudomyopia can be eliminated without the need to wear glasses.
True myopia is irreversible, 175 degrees of true myopia once formed, will cause more obvious impact on the patient’s vision, should wear glasses in time to correct.
At present, you can take your child to the ophthalmology department of the hospital for further dilated optometry examination to clarify whether it is true myopia or pseudomyopia, and then correct it under the guidance of the doctor.
