A member asked:
I have a son 12 yrs who goes swimming . is it okay for him to swim if he has low vision?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Eye doctor: I would recommend that you take your son to an eye doctor. Does your son swim for recreation or competition? They do have prescription goggles that can benefit your son, i believe. Don't take chances. Get to a doctor soon.
