Astigmatism in children
by Ranjitamohan, Jun 23, 2009 12:00AM
My son who is 5 and a half years old was diagnosed yesterday of astigmatism. He has been advised to wear glasses.
His power is 1.75 for each eye. My concern is will he have to wear it life long. Is there anything like excercises we could do to improve his vision so that he can avoid wearing glasses in the future. The doctor also said that if it had been a little later, or if he does not wear glasses, his vision will be impaired, what are the chances in my son's case. Do you think it can be rectified by wearing glasses.
