I know there are parents here with kids with similarly strong prescriptions, I hope they’ll chime in. I would be worried with such a large difference in prescription between the two eyes – I think that it may emphasize the distortion. I believe I’ve heard of doctors recommending a contact in those cases, in part because the distorion from the lens with the high prescription can make it difficult for the eyes to work together.

Keep us updated on how things are going.

Her perscription is -15.00 in the right eye and -1.00 in the left. This is a significant difference between the 2 eyes and I am wondering how glasses are going to look on her becauase of this huge difference. Everyone I’ve talked to have never seen a prescrition this high and I think the thickness is going to be enormous. I don’t know how her eye got so bad or why it wasn’t caught sooner. Anyone with pictures that show this type of eye glasses would be helpful. My daughter is 5 years old. Any advice on how to help her to cope if the glasses make her look funny.

My understanding is that farsightedness can get worse for a little bit at this age, but then begins to lessen until around age 12 when it stabilizes. +11 is a very strong farsighted prescription, I completely understand your worries.

His prescription at the moment is +11 both eyes apart that he has a lazy eye. On my visit he immediately said that he is very long sighted, slightly astigmatic and has a lazy eye. I am very worried about his eye sight since it seems to go up in strenght not down and that they are extremely strong for his tender age. I just got him new glasses the thinnest possible which is still very thick in my opinion, and very noticible that he has strong vision.

My understanding is that most farsighted kids do become less farsighted as they get older, so his vision will likely improve, though probably not to the point of not needing glasses.

Best of luck to you!

How bad is this really? The optometrists tend to sugar coat it and I am unsure of the severity of his eyesight. He has adjusted well to the glasses but I feel uncertain about his future .. will his eyesight deteriorate or perhaps improve?

My daughter is almost 4, and has a prescription in the +4.75 range for both eyes, and can function without her glasses (for instance, in swimming lessons), though she does ask for them every morning now. She started wearing glasses at 14 months, and while it was a struggle at first, it’s gotten far, far better, to the point where I now love her glasses.

I’m not sure of an answer to how his eyes got so bad, it’s related to the shape of his eye, and is definitely not anything you or he did, just something that some kids are born with.

Please stick around and let us know how things go, and feel free to ask any
