Hi,
My daughter started turning in her left eye in November. She has seen several opticians, an orthoptist and is waiting to see the opthamologist. Anyway, her latest optician did the test where eye drops are used. He prescribed glasses with strength +1.50 in right eye; +2.00 in left eye. Her actual eye test showed her ability to see pictures was excellent without glasses with both eyes(he said this would be 20/20 vision in old terms). She has started wearing her glasses since yesterday. I am a bit confused by a few things but had so much to take in at her appt that I didn't ask:
- Why does she need glasses if her eye sight came back as 20/20 vision?
- How can an optician tell which lenses to prescribe after the eye drop test?
- Will glasses correct her intermittent eye turn? How?
- Thankfully so far she is wearing her glasses most of the time but if she didn't, would her turn become worse(I am worried about compliance to wear glasses after novelty wears off)
She is 3 and was a prem baby born at 34 weeks if this is relevant.
Thanks
