Does The 5 Year Old Stop Stretching The Eye After Wearing Glasses?
Hi doc,
My daughter, 5 years old, weirdly stretches her eye looks down to view when she plays or reads every 2-3 mins. We took her to the eye doc who told us that she will overcome this with glasses. She has been provided a prescription of -1 in the right eye and - 3 in left eye (both are cylidrical).
- what can we do do stop it from detoriating?
- what caused this vision problem at a young age..she doesn't watches too much TV?
- will she stop strectching her eye with glasses?
Pls. advise

first thing is to give her recommended correction. she will be comfortable after taking glass.there is no cause. it depends on size of eye ball and curvature of cornea.
