Ophthalmologist,  's  Response
Hello
Welcome to Health care Magic.

I am Dr. Dadapeer K, an ophthalmologist and I will be answering your question.

I reviewed your history. It seems from the history that your son is having lazy eye.
This requires treatment by the use of glasses to correct the refractive error and occlusion therapy to stimulate the eye with less vision.
Lazy eye can be corrected uoto the age of 12 years successfully with occlusion therapy, hence I advice you to consult your ophthalmologist for proper advice and treatment.

Hope the information is helpful to you.
Do write back to me for further questions.

Thank you
With regards
I find this answer helpful
