Correction of baby astigmatism

Astigmatism refers to the abnormal shape of the eyeball, resulting in myopia or hyperopia. For babies, astigmatism may affect their visual development and learning ability, so early diagnosis and correction are very important. Chengdu Baobao Eye Hospital, as a hospital focusing on children's eye problems, provides a variety of astigmatism correction methods.

1. Correction of glasses

Glasses are one of the most common and simple and effective astigmatism correction methods. The doctor will prescribe glasses according to the baby's vision and astigmatism. Glasses change the direction of the incident light through appropriate lenses, thus correcting the vision problems caused by astigmatism.

The professional optometrist of Chengdu Baby Eye Hospital will customize the glasses according to the baby's eyes and needs to ensure the effect of vision correction and the comfort of the baby's wearing.

However, for some babies who are unwilling or unable to wear glasses, glasses correction may not be the most appropriate choice.

2. Contact lens correction

Contact lenses are another common method of astigmatism correction. Compared with ordinary glasses, contact lenses are more natural and will not affect your baby's appearance. This is a good choice for some older babies or babies who are used to wearing contact lenses.

The ophthalmologist of Chengdu Baby Ophthalmology Hospital will select appropriate contact lens types according to the baby's eye conditions and living habits, and carry out detailed adaptation and training to ensure the safety and effect of the baby's wearing contact lenses.

However, contact lenses need a certain maturity and self-management ability of the baby, and the doctor will determine whether it is suitable for the baby to wear contact lenses after evaluation.

3. Correction of corneal plastic lens

Corneal plastic lens is a successful and widely used method in children's astigmatism correction. By wearing this special contact lens, the baby's corneal shape can be changed, thus temporarily correcting the astigmatism problem.

Chengdu Baby Ophthalmology Hospital has professional customized services for corneal shaping glasses. Doctors will develop personalized wearing plans for corneal shaping glasses according to the baby's corneal conditions to help the baby overcome the problem of astigmatism.

4. Laser surgical correction

For older babies with mature eyes, laser surgery is also an optional astigmatism correction method. Laser surgery can correct astigmatism by precisely adjusting the cornea and changing its shape.

However, laser surgery is a complex and sensitive operation for babies, which requires strict evaluation and professional operation. Chengdu Baobao Eye Hospital has experienced ophthalmologists and advanced laser surgical equipment, which can provide safe and effective laser surgical correction for eligible babies.

summary

In a word, Chengdu Baby Eye Hospital provides a variety of astigmatism correction methods, including glasses, contact lenses, corneal shaping lenses and laser surgery. Through accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment, the hospital is committed to helping babies overcome astigmatism and protect their eyesight.

The astigmatism of the baby can be corrected. Parents should take the baby to a professional hospital for examination and treatment as soon as possible to ensure the normal development of their vision and learning ability.
