Are Spherical And Cylindrical Power Curable In Children?
Hi Doc,My son is 5.5 yrs old. Last year we saw the water coming out of his eyes and so we took him to the eye specialists. Both of them recommended +1.00 Cylindrical Power Lenses for both RE and LE. Now recently I got him checked again and to my surprise this time they told me that the the previously mentioned glass is not appropriate and this time the power is +1.75 for RE Spherical, +1.00 for LE Spherical, +0.75 for both RE and LE Cylindrical. My query is that is that by what age we can get his final power? Is this spherical and cylindrical curable so that he does not have to put on the glasses and what are the other options that can be explored to get this corrected? Are there any preventive actions as well that we need to follow to keep his eyes intact?

eyes grows with body till age of approx 18 year.so lens power may change till the age 18 year. refractive surgery(lasik ) remove glasses both of cylindrical and spherical number. but surgery is done when eye grow full (18 year). there are no othere option available for lens removal. to keep eyes intact give balance diet which contain vit a like carrot, grean vegetables, milk . curd. and egg if u take non veg
