High Myopia with -13
by jay5774, Apr 30, 2007 12:00AM
My son is 5 month old and is a -13 in both eyes. We noticed a problem about 2 weeks ago. There seems to be nothing else wrong with my son except severe myopia - Nearsighted. I am very worried about what the future will hold. How common is this? Isn't there any surgeries to correct this for children? Who are the top doctors in the U.S. who deal with this? Please help!
