Sounds very strange. You need to get another opinion. Make sure you see a well respected pediatric ophthalmologist, preferrably one associated with a university program. There would have to be good explanation why a 2 year old would have such a high myopia.

The first doctor we took her to was an optometrist who referred us to an opthamologist. The OD said she'd be a good candidate for some testing and experiments at Stanford. The third opinion was a pediatric OD we found ourselves. We have a follow up with him next week which will include the use of Atropine... Should we do like the first OD said and try Stanford? I just don't want my little girl to be a 'lab rat'. That was mine and my husbands concern with taking her to Stanford. It is just so confusing since I myself have a high prescription and observe the things she can do and point out that seem like they would be too blurry to notice....
I would take her to a pediatric ophthalmologist at Stanford for sure. Children with such high myopia at such a young age may have other associated conditions that an optometrist will likely miss. This is a very unusual finding and needs to be evaluated at a higher level of expertise.
