Is 300 Degrees of Astigmatism in a Child Considered Severe?

Whether a child's astigmatism of 300 degrees is severe depends on specific conditions. If it is pseudo-astigmatism, it is generally not severe; if it is true astigmatism, it is more severe.

If a child's pseudo-astigmatism is caused by improper long-term use of eyes, it is a physiological phenomenon that does not affect vision or cause obvious discomfort symptoms, so it is not severe. It is recommended that patients develop good eye habits, avoid looking at electronic products for long periods of time, and keep a close distance to avoid worsening the condition.

However, if a child's true astigmatism is caused by congenital factors, it is a pathological phenomenon. If not treated promptly, it may lead to amblyopia, causing significant inconvenience to the child's learning and life, so it is more severe. Children diagnosed with true astigmatism should pay attention to reasonable eye use in daily life,适当增加户外运动的时间， can effectively alleviate the condition. At the same time, pay attention to a light diet and minimize the intake of spicy and stimulating foods such as chili and garlic to avoid aggravating the condition. If necessary, frame glasses can be worn for correction according to doctor's advice, or improvements can be made through corneal contact lenses. If the above methods are ineffective, surgical treatment can be considered under the guidance of a doctor, such as refractive cataract intraocular lens implantation and excimer laser corneal ablation.
