(Concern) How should I take care of the children's eyes?

Since my son started elementary school, his eyesight has deteriorated rapidly, and he began wearing glasses just before third grade.

Recently, I went to a hospital in Sejong that is known for treating strabismus, but they said that my vision was too poor rather than having a tendency for strabismus.

 

They say many people also wear contact lenses to avoid wearing glasses.

Some also say there are side effects to this.

The child is extremely resistant to putting anything in their eyes, so I put glasses on them...

 

Since both my fiancé and I have been wearing glasses since late elementary school, we understand the inconvenience well... It was quite unfortunate.

 

Living well, considering glasses like mine or my groom's as if they were part of my body

You might have surgery later when you become an adult...

In the meantime, the discomfort of glasses must be quite significant...

 

I had intraLASIK surgery in my late twenties, and even now, more than 15 years later, I still maintain a vision of about 1.0.

 

I want to prevent my second child from needing glasses as well..

You can't prohibit watching TV either..

The only fortunate thing is that the first child, who loves books so much that they hold onto books and live anywhere regardless of darkness, is different from the second child, who doesn't like books that much, so I suppose that's a relief...

Firstly, I think books also have a significant impact on vision deterioration...

 

How do you manage children's eyesight?

You can't tell a child who loves books not to look at them.

Even on TV or tablets, the viewing time on weekdays is only about 30 minutes...

First, to prevent it from getting worse any further

The second one should become an adult without glasses.

I want to help with vision care..

Do you have any good tips?

I'm really worried about managing children's eyesight.
