Nowadays, people are prone to eye problems, which is closely related to their love for playing mobile phones, games, and watching TV. Parents must pay attention to watching less TV for their babies when taking care of them, as this can protect their eyes. So, what about astigmatism in a six month old baby?
Astigmatism in a 6-month-old baby is actually quite common. When astigmatism appears in a 6-month-old baby, parents need to judge based on the severity of the baby's astigmatism. If the baby's astigmatism is mild, as long as the baby does not have visual fatigue, intellectual disabilities, or other abnormalities, no special treatment is needed, that is, no treatment is needed for the baby.
At the same time as astigmatism appears in a six month old baby, the axial direction of astigmatism changes, which can affect the vision of older infants and even cause abnormal visual fatigue. Therefore, correction and necessary treatment are needed. When astigmatism appears in a six month old baby, the main focus is on observing the severity of the astigmatism. As long as the astigmatism is not particularly severe, it can be corrected when the baby grows older.
Six month old babies have severe astigmatism, and immediate correction is necessary. However, considering the age characteristics of infants, the treatment mainly focuses on correction. After a baby wears glasses to correct astigmatism, it is important to pay attention to follow-up examinations. The time for re examination is mainly about six months to one year apart, and a new optometry is required.
