Sir, my son five years old, had detected with Cyldrical Eye sight. As per the doctor the VISION is 6/6 for both the eye. Axis is 170 degree, deviation is 10 degree. Cyclidrical is 1.
My question is this Curable with increase in age. Will my son need spectacles. Is there any exercise which will help him to recover totally. What type of Food will i go mainly for eye corection. And if need the spectacles what will be the power of spectacles, because Doctor has mentioned the above results in Precription and nothing else. Please suggest will he need Spetacles and the power of spectacles.

If his only glasses need is 1 diopter of cylinder in both eyes and the vision is good without glasses and he's age 5 and no symptoms of eye strain generally the child does NOT need glasses.

Exercises are neither helpful or needed for refractive errors like astigmatism
