Eye power issue- 7years old son
Hi doctor,
My son had a fall when he was 6 years old and got epidural hematoma surgery done in the right side of the brain. Recently he had a very bad forehead pain at the sides of the forehead. We showed to eye doctor and he told he has power -2 in right eye and -3 in left eye with axis 20 in right eye and 160 in left eye. I wanted to know whether the fall has caused issue with eyesight or it is not linked. This fall happened a year back.
When I checked with neurologist they say EDH was external and is not at all linked to power issue.
Any comments or recommendations

Your son’s refractive error (myopia and astigmatism) is not related to the previous head injury or surgery; this is a common, unrelated eye condition. Just continue regular eye check-ups and use prescribed glasses.
