What Causes Farsightedness In A Toddler To Wear Glasses?
My granddaughter is 20 months old and got sick with an ear infection first one and high fever and eyes became crossed and have continued Took her to pediatric ophthalmologist and he said she is farsighted and needs glasses. We don't understand as she never had any symptoms prior ton this illness and can't help but find it odd and hatento see her wearing glasses so young Have you ever heard of anything like this.
I reviewed your history. It seems from the history that your grand daughter is having farsightedness and is advised glasses. Refractive error is one of the common problems in childhood. Hypermetropia is relatively more common in children. No need to worry, this needs treatment by the use of appropriate glasses. As the age increases as the eye ball grows hypermetropia can reduce but as of now she needs to wear glasses regularly. Though wearing of glasses in childhood looks odd it is required for growth of the eye, hence she should wear glasses and see that your grand daughter does so.
Hope this is helpful to you. Thank you
