microtopia

Sir/Madam
My son is 10 years old. His left eye vision is 6/36 and right eye vision is 6/12. He also has red colour blindness.
I consulted is Gandhi Eye Hospital, Aligarh, India for the vision. Doctors in the hospital diagnose the case of Dyspropin and advices for E R G for Photopic response.
After that another consultation was taken from R P Centre of All India Institute of Medical Science, New Delhi, India. The Doctors there diagnosed Microtropia and started treatment. I am adviced to close 6 days rightr eye and 1 day left eye for one month. After one month result was nill. No improvement is found. I am further adviced to repeate the same for next one month.
My question is that wether this case is of Microtropia or not? What should I do. I am too much worried about my son.
Please help me.

Microtropia means that the eyes are not aligned.  This is causing the decrease in vision on the right eye.  The patching is used to strengthen the right eye.
