Eye sight & Vision

2017-04-10 11:15:52
My son age 4 years. Got his eye check up so doctors said vision is 6/12 and cylindrical eye power in both eyes i.e. plus 1.5. They advised for glasses. I need to know whether this is astigmatism or Lazy eye ?? If the vision gets improved so whether eye power will reduce?? Any possibility that glasses can go away with the age. Putting on glasses will improve the condition or should i focus on eye exercises and diet for better results. Pl advise. Thanks
