Question
The prescription for myopia states right sphere 0.00, left sphere 4.00, cylinder -0.5, and axis 165. Do I need to recalculate the eyeglass prescription, and what would the recalculated data be?
Answer
The refractive and corrective power numbers are not the same. It is necessary to consult an ophthalmologist again to determine the prescription. The best method for treating amblyopia is to wear glasses for correction and cover one eye during treatment. Both are essential. On the first day of dilation, the ciliary muscle has no accommodation power, and the pupil does not constrict. On the second day, the pupil begins to accommodate, but the accommodation power may be weaker, resulting in changes in the prescription.
