Abstract:
Approximately 80% of pediatric amblyopia cases are caused by refractive errors. Therefore, the early detection of refractive errors and prescription of appropriate glasses are very important to children's visual function and preventing and treating amblyopia. Unlike for adults, glasses must be prescribed carefully for children because their visual function is under development; moreover, they commonly have abundant accommodation, emmetropia, and strabismus. This review aimed to provide guidelines for the prescription of glasses for children.
