Pediatrician 's  Response
Hi dear
Thanks for the query in HCM,
Cylindrical power is not because of conjunctivitis. It is a incidental finding by the your learned ophthalmic surgeon. His opinion should be respected. and correction of this type of deviation is must for your child.
Hope your query is answered satisfactorily.
Thanks
