How to treat astigmatism of two year old children?
For two year old children, astigmatism is a common eye problem, which also needs timely treatment. As a professional ophthalmic hospital, Guangzhou Zhongshan Ophthalmology Department can provide effective astigmatism treatment services for children aged two.
Ophthalmic examination confirms astigmatism
Before treatment, it is necessary to confirm whether the child has astigmatism. Guangzhou Zhongshan Ophthalmology Department has advanced ophthalmic examination equipment, which can determine the degree and type of astigmatism through optometry, corneal topography and other examination methods. These examinations are relatively simple for two-year-old children, without patient assistance or wearing equipment that is not suitable for the age.
If you are not sure whether it is astigmatism, it is recommended that you take your child to a professional eye hospital for examination as soon as possible. In Guangzhou Zhongshan Ophthalmology Department, doctors will develop personalized treatment plans based on the examination results.
Eyeglasses and contact lenses for correcting vision
Glasses are the most common and safe treatment for astigmatism in two year old children. The experts of Zhongshan Ophthalmology Department in Guangzhou will equip children with suitable glasses according to the degree of astigmatism. For a large degree of astigmatism, doctors may recommend the use of contact lenses, which can increase the visual experience, and also avoid the problem of children's uncomfortable or uncooperative wearing of ordinary glasses.
However, when using contact lenses, parents need to clean and maintain them in strict accordance with the doctor's instructions, and check regularly to ensure the safety and comfort of contact lenses.
Vision training
In addition to the correction of glasses and contact lenses, Guangzhou Zhongshan Ophthalmology Department will also provide vision training services for two-year-old children. Vision training can help children recover and enhance the ability to adjust their eyes and improve astigmatism.
Eye movement, gaze training and hand eye coordination are the main contents of vision training. These trainings can be carried out in hospitals through professional teachers and equipment, or at home under the guidance of doctors. Vision training needs long-term persistence, and parents should work closely with doctors to ensure the effectiveness and safety of training.
Consideration of surgical treatment
For the astigmatism treatment of two-year-old children, surgery is the last choice to be considered. Generally speaking, surgical treatment is suitable for adults and adolescents, but it is risky for children. However, in extremely rare cases, if the astigmatism is extremely high and cannot be effectively corrected by other means, the doctor may recommend surgery.
The specific methods of surgical treatment include corneal refractive surgery, intraocular lens implantation, etc. Guangzhou Zhongshan Eye Hospital is an eye hospital with rich surgical experience and advanced equipment, which can provide safe and effective surgical treatment for children aged two.
To sum up, Guangzhou Zhongshan Ophthalmology Department provides a variety of astigmatism treatments for two-year-old children, including glasses, contact lenses, vision training and surgery. Parents should take their children for examination as soon as possible and choose appropriate treatment according to the doctor's suggestions. Through proper treatment, it can help the two-year-old children to restore normal vision and improve the quality of life.
