high degree of hypermetropia in child
by douglasi, Jan 13, 2006 12:00AM
Our child is 13, he is plus 7.75 in his left eye, at 9 he was plus 4.5 since then it has increased to the present level.At the regular eye checks we are reassured it will level off - but it doesn't and I dread the next appointment.
I am plus 7 at 55 and I am sure that at his age I could have only been plus 2 or so, consequently I think what is the child going to be like at my age. Can you comment please?
