It is normal for a 5 year old child to have a visual acuity of 4.8. It is recommended to have a review of the visual acuity in about 3 to 6 months to detect refractive errors and deal with them in a timely manner.
Due to the developmental stage of children’s eyesight at the age of 5, the visual acuity of 4.8 is normal, and it may take 6 to 7 years old to reach the normal visual acuity of 5.0 and above, and there is a certain degree of hyperopia in most of the children’s stage, and the low reserve of hyperopia has a positive effect on the prevention of myopia and high myopia.
It is recommended that children should be trained to recognize visual targets when they reach the appropriate age, and that they should go to optometrists or hospitals regularly to have their pupils dilated for optometry and other ancillary examinations, and record the results of each examination, so as to detect and treat delayed development of vision and refractive errors in a timely manner.
