Needs attention: The principal issue is the big difference between the sphere in your child's refraction (+5.00 right eye and +0.75 for the left). This is a set up for the brain to ignore the right eye which has such a high power. You should see a pediatric ophthalmologist with an M.D. And stop going to an optometrist to make sure that your child's vision is preserved in both eyes. The astigm. Is minor.
