5 yr old with 1.25 myopia
My daughter was recently diagnosed with -1.25 myopia in both eyes. Though the machine gave -1.00 for both eyes after dilating, the doctor prescribed -1.25 and suggested we should use the glasses for reading and outdoor and even full time to get a habit. We are a bit concerned if making her wear the glasses make dependent on them. Could you please let us know if not wearing glasses till next year when she goes in 1st std ok? Or it will cause more harm and increase her number? Thanks.
Hello there.
I can understand your concern.
If she has vision problem, then she has to wear.why do you want to postpone to next year,? What magic or miracle are you expecting to happen in 1 year?
If she doesnt wear, her power will certainly increase and chances are that the pathways in the brain also may not form properly. I do not understand how you thought about postponing for one year.
Ultimately choice is yours.
Best regards,
Dr. Anil kumar jain.
