How is farsightedness caused in babies1

  The main reason for hyperopia is that the patient's axial length is too short, and the visual focus falls behind the retina, resulting in unclear images refracted on the retina. Moreover, most cases of hyperopia are related to congenital factors, or the tissues in the baby's eyes are inherently underdeveloped. It is best for babies with farsightedness to pay attention to the following matters.

  1. Babies with mild hyperopia generally do not require corrective treatment with glasses. However, for babies with symptoms such as deepening degree, esotropia, and severe visual fatigue, it is best to undergo corrective treatment with glasses as soon as possible, otherwise the baby's farsightedness degree will further deepen.

  2. For babies who have undergone corrective treatment with glasses, it is best to have regular check ups, as the condition of hyperopia may also change with age. Regularly checking the condition of the eyes and the degree of corrective lenses can meet the needs of changes in the baby's vision. If necessary, more suitable corrective lenses can be replaced. In daily life, it is also important to cultivate good eye habits in babies to avoid further worsening of hyperopia symptoms.
