Regarding Lazy eye
Dear sir/madam
My son is 5 years old. His right eye has number -14.
He has SQUINT also. We consult a dr and he told to do patching. We do patching and as he is very small so he takes less interest in doing patch exercise. We are giving him ayurvedic medicine like Hingul and Sangarf. Will it work???
Details of child eye is attached.
Pls help me.
How can I get his vision back from -14 to normal??? Kitna tym lagega. Pls help me and tell me in detail.

Patching is the best non-invasive treatment option. Do it regularly for a minimum of 2 hours a day. Child will not understand the importance of it. You have to train him.
Next Steps
Do patching regularly
Health Tips
The power will not come down with patching. The quality of vision will improve with patching. The power can be treated with refractive procedure once he crosses 18years of age.

Patching is the best treatment to improve eyesight. Can take months for improvement but that's the only way out. Do it religiously.
