"What Steps Should I Take If My Child Has Astigmatism?"

When a child has astigmatism, they can be treated through wearing frame glasses, corneal contact lenses, or undergoing surgical procedures. It is recommended that parents promptly take their child to a hospital for examination and select an appropriate treatment method under the guidance of a doctor.

Non-pharmacological Treatments:

1. Wearing Frame Glasses: If the child's astigmatism is mild and has minimal impact on vision, frame glasses can be considered for correction.

2. Corneal Contact Lenses: Also known as contact lenses, they are refractive media that attach directly to the cornea, offering a certain level of breathability. They allow light to refract and focus on the retina, thereby correcting astigmatism. However, regular replacement and cleaning are necessary.

3. Surgical Treatment: For adult patients with severe astigmatism, laser ablation surgery or other methods can be performed under medical advice to improve symptoms.

Pharmacological Treatment:

Generally, there are no specific medications that can cure astigmatism, so blind medication is not recommended. However, if astigmatism is caused by intraocular tissue edema due to ocular inflammation, antibiotics such as Tobramycin Eye Drops or Levofloxacin Eye Drops can be prescribed by a doctor to control infection and alleviate symptoms.

In daily life, attention should be paid to eye hygiene, avoiding rubbing the eyes with hands to prevent worsening of the condition. Additionally, it is important to use eyes reasonably, avoiding prolonged exposure to electronic devices, which may further develop into myopia.
