Question

I don’t understand the eye examination results for my son, and I would like to consult a doctor.

Answer

Based on your child’s condition, the prescription indicates that he has downward strabismus and amblyopia, and it is best to start treatment early. This is generally not related to trachoma. I suggest you take your child to the ophthalmology department of the hospital for vision correction. The sooner the correction, the better, as it becomes difficult to correct after the child reaches 12 years old. A friend of mine says that since the child is young and the prescription is not high, it is easy to correct. Playing computers will not affect the child’s amblyopia but can help in correction; however, one must prevent the child from becoming addicted to the internet.
