just got back from optromitist (eye dr hence forth) and am really torn whether to carry on trying to get DS to keep his glasses on.
he is 2y7m and was given the glasses 3m ago. he has very slight turn (squint) in right eye and was given a +2 lense for this one and just glass in other lense.
the initial problem is he's not keen on them at all though i do persist (could do better i.e taping them to his head ) but my main consren is that he wont look through them but over the top
the turn has not improved and when mentioned this over top looking eye dr said this probably won't change until he is 6/7!
AIBU in thinking this could make any turns worse and i don't really want his eyes constantly looking up for next 5 years for what is only a small turn?
mil thinks i should ditch them but if i do and he developes worse probs later, its my fault isnt it.
any prof/similar situation advice welcome
