5 year old high astigmatism and myopia
Went for a routine checkup for eye irritation.
They Shawn found -4.5 astigmatism in right eye and 1 myopic.
Left eye -0.75 astigmatism.
She never had eye infections or anything in past. Only for past two weeks she has been blinking continuously so we took.
Allergy also persists in both eye as per finding. Papillae.
Is this non treatable ? Even with glasses will this increase. Any possible leads to blindness due to this.
Worried.
