Hi thank you for choosing healthcare magic.
Sorry to learn about your child. But try to understand that there are no medications which can reduce eyesight expect diet rich in vitamin A and carotene which have proven effect in some studies. There is not much we can do for the cylindrical number, just include papaya, carrot, green leafy vegetables etc in her diet more. As they grow for some kids the power decreases, hope the same for your kid, if not there have been many advances in recent times including painless laser treatments for eye sight.
Hope this has helped you.
Your vote of thanks is appreciated,
Good luck, Dr J Sravanthi, Peadiatrician and Neonatologist
