Eye sight for 2.5 years old kid
Hello Doctor,
We have observed our kid who is 2.5years old, rubbing and closing her eyes more frequently. So we took her to the local doctor and got her eyes tested but since the child wasn't cooperative, they just gave us a reference eye sight slip and told that she has eye sight problem but not given accurate numbers of eye sight.
I have attached the check-up slip for your reference.
Could you please help us understand how severe the eye sight is and can the problem be treated with medication.
Thanks.

According to this refraction slip, the spherical power is not an issue, that's normal for her age but her cylindrical number -2.25 and -2.00 is a bit concerning for her age. Please undergo an atropinised dilatation and refraction with your nearby ophthalmologist

She needs a dilated funds examination. We can arrive at a conclusion, whether she needs glasses after that only.
