Medical Forum / General / Vision / December 2006Is vision getting better?
I have posted several threads about my 3 year old on this site(-10.5 but sees 20/60 without glasses). My question is that a year ago when I brought my daughter in to the pediatric opthalmologist he originally had her perscription at -12.50 each eye. He gave her a lighter perscription to start out with though(-10.00). About 3 months later she was -11.50 each eye. About 3 months later he had her at about -11.00 each eye. Then about 3 months later he had her at -10.50 each eye. Just recently when she went back she was -10. 25 in one eye and -10.00 in the other. The astigmatism has been about the same for all perscriptions. I was not at the last visit and would have asked him why its going down. I am not posting this in ANYWAY to start any controversy. We have not been doing ANY sort of vision therapy or trying to improve her vision in anyway, shape, or form. I was wondering if it made any difference that she has lenticular myopia or if because she is young maybe her lens could be changing still. Dear Concerned Parent, I think I can speak for all of us in that we hope that your daughter, starting at 20/60 vision (naked eye) will see her distant vision improve to 20/40 or better over the next five years or so, and the -10 diopter lens will be a major factor in her improving her naked eye vision.

Has the ophthamologist checked her visual acuity and reported it to you? Best, Otis > I have posted several threads about my 3 year old on this site(-10.5 but sees > 20/60 without glasses).

The probably effect of a -10 diopter lens on the eye's refractive status can be seen at: http://vision.berkeley.edu/wildsoet/myopiaprimer.html As the blue-tinted young eye, and its response to a lens. I hope your daughter's refraction does not respond in this manner to that 10 diopter lens. Perhaps you could ask your ophthalmologist if the -10 diopter lens will have this effect on her eyes.
