Hello
It seems from the history that your 5 year old son is having refractive error.
No need to worry this is a common problem in chikdren. I advice you to see that
1. He wears classes regularly
2. Get eye checkup once in a year
3. Watches TV from at least 6 feet distance
4. Reads in good illumination
5. His diet should include Vitamin A rich foods like green leafy vegetables, carrot...
Thank you
