Physiological farsightedness is common in children under 6 years old, most of them over 6 years old will go away, some cases of high farsightedness or complications such as strabismus and amblyopia will need early adjustment. You should go to the hospital to determine the degree of farsightedness as well as other eye injuries so that you can advise the appropriate treatment method.
