If your child has hyperopic astigmatism, it may be related to congenital developmental abnormalities and amblyopia caused by hyperopic astigmatism. You should take your child to a正规 hospital for an eye examination as early as possible. Use atropine ointment to dilate the pupils and assess refractive error and fundus condition. After the pupils recover, prescribe appropriate corrective glasses. In addition, amblyopia training should be performed, such as bead-threading exercises. It is recommended to purchase an amblyopia therapy device, as your child is currently seven years old, while the optimal treatment age is between 3 and 5 years.
