Today, a 5-year-old child came to collect his new glasses 🤓 (first time wearing glasses)
The prescription given by the ophthalmologist is:
Right eye: -9.50 Astigmatism: -3.75
Left eye: -10.00 Astigmatism: -3.75
This condition is usually caused by high myopia (pathological or congenital) combined with high astigmatism. Common reasons include:
1️⃣ Congenital / genetic factors
Some children naturally have a longer eyeball (elongated eye axis), so they are already highly myopic from birth or at a very young age.
2️⃣ Abnormal eye development
During growth, the eyes may develop unevenly, leading to very high myopia. At the same time, irregular corneal curvature results in high astigmatism (-3.75).
3️⃣ Visual habits only “worsen,” not the main cause
At such a young age with power above -9.00, it is usually not caused by excessive screen time or reading alone, but mainly due to the eye’s structural condition.
4️⃣ Early correction is necessary
Not wearing glasses can affect visual development and may even lead to amblyopia (lazy eye), so proper glasses must be worn as early as possible.
👉 Summary:
This is mainly due to a “natural structural issue of the eyes,” not typical overuse, and it requires long-term professional management and regular check-ups.
