my four year old need glasses?

[rutledgekl]

my daughter prescription states in both eyes -1.25x+2.25x180.does she really need glasses??i think she can see very well.the doctor states that she needs glasses because she has a astigamism.what do u think?should i get a second opinion.

Moderate but enough that without glasses refractive amblyopia might develop (vision does not develop to 20/20)

is this a very strong prescription for a 4 year old?

If that is a correct RX and there's no reason to think its not she does need glasses

i meant -1.75x+2.25x180.and not -1.25 for the first number
