Refractive index error for 4 year old bo

2022-04-02 20:46:37
Took my son for general eye check up and doctor insisted he has refractive index error (-1 and 0.5) He is insisting that the boy should wear specs as much hours as possible in a day so that it does not get worsen in the future . Please some one help out .I am just little hesitant as he is just 4years old boy and he doesn't have any issues or he has not told anything related to vision till now. I am getting scolding from the elders as I am making the little kid to wear specs which is not needed .

Pl trust the Doctor. If Refraction is done and glasses prescribed,your son has to wear them.Do not hear to the Elders.They are not Doctors.if you have still doubt, pl take 2nd opinion. Pl consult Ophthalmologist for better evaluation and treatment.
