Suggest Diet And Exercises For Healthy Eyes
Dear Sir, My Daughter aged 6yrs. has developed -0.75 sph -2.75cyl. 180* in right eye & -3.75 cyl. in left eye. Is there any hope this power will come to normal? Does nutritional supplement like Beta Carotene, Omega 3 Fatty acids ,Fruits & vegetables would be of any help? Is there any exercise for eye that may prove beneficial alongwith wearing the glasses?

Hi
It seems from the history that your daughter is having refractive error.
Vegetables and fruits particularly rich in vitamin A will help for good health of the eye and prevent rapid progression of the refractive error.
Along with this see that she wears spectacles regularly and attends follow up at least once in a year to find out any change in refractive error and correction accordingly.
Thank you
