My son is 4 years 7 months old. His cycloplegic (after-drops) refraction showed: Right eye: 0.00 SPH / −1.50 CYL × 180 Left eye: 0.00 SPH / −0.75 CYL × 150 Vision recorded as 6/9 in both eyes The rest of the eye examination was normal. The ophthalmologist recommended glasses. I'm wondering whether glasses are necessary immediately, or whether it would be reasonable to wait 6–12 months and repeat the eye test, since children's eyes can change as they grow. Has anyone had a child around this age with a similar prescription? Did you use glasses immediately, or monitor for some time? Looking mainly for experiences from parents and, if possible, pediatric ophthalmologists.

Hello Doctors, My son had mild jaundice when he was discharged on Day 4. The doctor recommended 3 hours of phototherapy, after which his bilirubin level came down to normal. Now, on Day 11, his bilirubin level is 16.3 mg/dL. His eyes are mildly yellow, but there are no other noticeable symptoms. He is feeding regularly. Our doctor has advised us to continue regular feeding and said that phototherapy is not required unless the bilirubin reaches 20 mg/dL. I would like to get a second opinion: Is it safe to wait and monitor at this level? Should we repeat the bilirubin test after a certain number of days? Are there any warning signs we should watch for? Thank you.
