Dear Friend,

Your Daughter does have a high eye powers. She requires to wear spectacles to have clear vision. Alternatives to spectacles are contact lens or laser surgeries. She is Too young to handle contact lens and Laser treatments are indicated only after 18 years of age. There is no medical cure for her eye powers. so she will have to wear spectacles for time being.
