How To Treat Hypertropia?
I have slight hypertropia from watching tv and reading on my side can i reverse it by changing the side i read/watch tv from? My grandfather is an optometrist and doesn't think so though it makes sense that there could/should be a technique to fix it.

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having hypertropia.
Hypertropia is a type of manifest squibt in which the eye on the affected side stays at a higher level compared to other eye.
It can be corrected by spectacles with prisms or by surgery. This depends on the cause.
Hence I advice you to consult your ophthalmologist for examination and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
