A member asked:
My son is 5yr & both eyes has -1.50 cylindrical power. right eye axis is 10 & left eye 175. is spec needed at this age or can cure through right diet?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Diet doesn't cure : Myopia/nearsightedness but helps prevent other issues (cataract, macular issues); too much near work without breaks (iPhone, computer, tv) does increase myopia so be sure son plays/exercises outside at least 1 hr per day.
