Child Got Squint In Left Eye, Diagnosed With High Power, Small Eye Ball, Advised Glasses. Will Power Get Reduced By Glasses?
Good Evening Doctor, My daughter is 3 1/4 yrs old. Her vision was normal since birth, after 1 1/2 yrs she got squint in left eye alone (inward). We consulted an opthalmologist now. They said she has a power of +8 and her eye ball is small. They have given glasses for her to wear all the time. and asked to come for check up after a month. Can this power be reduced wearing glasses, please advise

But don't get depressed there are many modern treatmentmodalities which will reduce power but it will be done after a certain ag.
