A member asked:

My opthamologist cannot get my right eye to focus. no astigmatism. what should i have my gp check for?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need more informatio: How old are you? When did this start? Other than astigmatism, there are many possible reasons for an eye not to focus and an ophthalmologist should have given a reason or sent you to someone to find a reason.
