A member asked:
My daughter absolutely refuses to use her glasses. will this affect her eyesight long-term?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It might: If both are similar in their strength, there is less worry than when one is a lot stronger. The brain could decide to turn off the weaker eye in that case, causing a permanent vision loss. If the brain turns one off, it looses the stimulus to be lined up and could start turning in or out.Have a talk with her eye doc and decide how much risk you are dealing with.
