-4 cylindrical number in left eye only
Brief Answer:
corrective glasses
Detailed Answer:
Hi
I understand your concerns but do not worry. As both the eyes have wide variation in refraction, the best way is to start her on regular and compliant use of corrective glasses to prevent complications such as amblyopia and squint.
Thereafter a complete ophlamological assessment for laser therapy will be useful.
Hopefully it will be of help. I would be happy to help you with any further child health related questions.
Take care
