Are There Any Exercise Plans For Children With -1.00 Cylindrical Power & Axis In Eye
Hi, My daughter aged 7 has -1.00 cylindrical power and axis 90 in her right eye only. She wears glasses for the past one month.Will it problem get rectified or is she supposed to wear glasses lifelong.Are there any eye exercises to cure this problem apart from diet ? She complains of vomiting sensation , is this any way related to her eye problem?

Hello
It seems from the history that your 7 year old daughter is having refractive error in the form of astigmatism.
The treatment is by wearing correction in the form of spectacles.
Vomiting is not related to this problem.
In children the refractive power changes rapidly hence she needs eye examination at least once in a year and correction if required.
Having a diet rich in vitamin A will prevent further progression of the refractive error.
Thank you
