Suggest Remedy For Eye Disorders

hello! i have a 7 years old boy with agenesia of the corpus calosum. lately he started to read with only the right eye. the measurements done with the dioptron told us that in the right eye he has some small astigmatismus, but the left eye, wich he does not use, is ok. still he can not read with this eye. may that be a sign of some visual cortex problems?

This is a rare congenital defect. Colosseum which connect the both hemisphere are completely or partially absent. There is no medical or surgical means available to treat it. It is only rehabilitation in deficit like speech therapy-epilepsy may be first presenting symptom. diagnosis can be by MRI and other clinical examination Since there is no chance of regrowth of cor pus Colosseum, what ever visual function are available should be retained and he should be trained to manage the day to day activity.
