At present, the incidence of myopia in children and adolescents is high, and the endless "small glasses" make parents hurt their brains, but also affect the nerves of the whole society. However, myopia is not the only common child eye disease, children's vision is normal, does not mean that the eyes must be healthy.

In the recent National Visual Health Forum, even if the child's vision meets the school physical examination standards, do not take it lightly, while caring about the child's myopia, but also be vigilant about the hidden eye diseases under normal vision.

Strabismus and amblyopia are also common eye diseases in children

The evaluation of eye health is a comprehensive evaluation of a series of indicators such as visual acuity, visual function, eye position, ocular surface microenvironment and whether there are potential damage factors.

Visual acuity is an important indicator of eye health, but it is not enough to judge eye health by visual acuity alone.

In addition to myopia, strabismus and amblyopia are common eye diseases in children. There are many types of strabismus, some types of strabismus have little effect on vision, such as intermittent strabismus, alternating strabismus and so on.

Children with this type of strabismus may have good vision in one eye, but have abnormal eye appearance and visual defects.

Once the treatment is delayed, it will cause irreversible defects and damage to the child's visual function, and even accompanied by mental development disorders.

Prevention and treatment should be early. Parents should establish eye health files from their children's childhood to regular health care institutions, check regularly, and pay attention to the development of various indicators in the growth and development of children's eyes, so as to prevent, detect, correct and intervene early.

Is strabismus looking sideways

The clinic often encounters such a situation: parents bring their children to see a doctor, saying that the child is squint, because the child always likes to tilt his head and look at things with oblique eyes.

Is squinting your eyes strabismus?

The medical definition of strabismus is that one eye is positive and the other eye is oblique, in short, the eyes are not consistent, incongruity, such as one eye looking at A, while the other eye is looking at B.

For non-medical parents, it may be difficult to determine whether a child's eyes are in harmony, which needs to be judged by a professional doctor.

Most amblyopia can be cured

Many parents reflect that children always like to look at things close, is this a sign of myopia?

The main manifestation of myopia is that you can't see clearly in the distance, and you can see clearly when you are close.

If the child likes to see things close, not necessarily myopia, children with amblyopia will also have the habit of seeing things close.

Amblyopia is mainly caused by diseases or abnormalities in the eyes, so that vision can not develop normally.

Amblyopia is different from myopia in that even with the right glasses, a child's vision cannot be improved to a normal level.
