If vision is not accurate without glasses ,
also,I see that it doesn’t improve to best vision even with correction of numbers,so it becomes necessary that she wears the spectacles .
Periodic check ups are very important and excessive near work or screen time should be avoided .
Regarding patching ,it should be done if child has worn glasses constantly for 1-2 months and there is no improvement.
