My 3 year old son was recently diagnosed with a severe astigmatism in his left eye. He has 20/30 vision in his right eye and 20/400 in his left. He also has a slight lazy eye, according to the doctor. The doctor said that because his prescription is so severe, he won't want to wear them and that they may make him sick to his stomach because he will feel like he is floating when he first wears them. How do I get my son to wear them and do you think it is too early for an astigmatism to be detected? Will his vision benefit from the glasses? Any advice on how to get him used to them? Also, should he wear them all the time?
Thank you,
A concerned parent
