What does it mean to be myopic?
Myopia is a defect in the optics of the eye. The eye becomes too long and no longer allows the observed image to be seen clearly without correction. In simple terms, the patient sees blurred at a distance and sharp at close range.
Throughout childhood the eye grows naturally. If, however, the growth starts too early and proves to be excessive, the final length of the eye and therefore the degree of myopia will become too great. We speak of severe myopia from about 5 D of correction.
Refractive disorders in children
It is important to correct an optical defect (hyperopia, myopia, and/or astigmatism) in a child if this defect risks causing lasting visual weakness (amblyopia).
Correction by occlusion of the eye is also suggested in cases of unilateral weakness or imbalance. This treatment naturally occurs under strict medical supervision.
Most young children are farsighted. In a normal situation, as they grow, hyperopia spontaneously resolves and most of the time, the child will not need optical correction.
However, residual optical defects should be corrected if they risk causing irreversible visual weakness (amblyopia) or if they cause symptoms of discomfort or headaches.
It is worth noting that in recent years, there has been an increase in cases of myopia in increasingly younger children. Careful monitoring is therefore essential.
Refractive disorders in a few steps
An initial consultation allows us to perform the necessary examinations and make a diagnosis.
