He has ambloypia and farsightedness in one eye and needs to be patched for three hours per day.

Is there any other eye exercise that you guys have been doing? My son is 3 and he is diagnosed with farsightedness with +3 in both eyes. Also does going to Ophthalmologist help? Hi Manjula,

My son is 3 and he is diagnosed with farsightedness with +3 in both eyes. Also does going to Ophthalmologist help?

My son was diagnosed with farsightedness when he was 11 months old +6 in both his eyes. It took us a month to make him wear his glasses. It was like a battle won. Now he is three year old and his comfortable with it. The glasses have become a part of him , he asks for it as the first thing in the morning when he wakes up. There is also improvement in this prescription , it has gone down to +5. Really glad that we got him wear his glasses. For parents who are struggling to get their kid to wear the glasses , don't lose heart. When kids grow up , they will thankfull for what you did ! Hi , I am really happy to find this site.

No, glasses for amblyopia are usually not blurry on the good side. You generally don't want to occlude the good eye all the time, otherwise, you risk causing the brain to stop paying attention to the good eye. Generally, glasses for amblyopia will correct for any refractive errors on the eyes (often both eyes have problems, but one is worse than the other). Then, depending on the extent of the amblyopia, you'll often need to patch the good eye for some amount of time each day. Good luck and let us know how things go! Welcome Jennifer!

I am overwhelmed to say the least. I think that we are going to pick out his glasses over the weekend, but I am wondering if the glasses for amblyopia are blurry on the "good eye" side. He is starting Kindergarten next week, and I just don't want him to be made fun of! Really looking for some insight!

I hadn't heard of aniridia before. I'm so glad he's being treated and doing well at home. It sounds scary, but it sounds like you have a great attitude and I know he'll do well.

Thay took his blood fr genetic testing to chk if its hereditary or sporadic.They wil be doing his glaucoma testing, ultrasound fr kidneys to chk fr Wilms Tumor and catarct. Later on his vision test. Well he is dong fne indoors .he is reaching all his milestone with whateever vision he has.Usually they say aniridia have low bt useful vision.My son has imprved a lot fr the time we started noticing him.He tracks far off objects well and he even hold my fingers by looking at it and pick one to put in his mouth.He like s to see his hand s and feet and toes and try to pout them in his mouth. He has good strnght in his feet and abolutely fn on his tummy time and rolling over so well.sometimes i really cant belive that he ahs aniridia. Well there is a hope that oneday he will be fne coz i saw Dr assils video on trating a woman with aniridia and gv her avision of 20/40.Bt i think its only after 5 yrs of age, so i have to wait till he gets older. I will be udating abt his treatment fr moms who s lookn fr aniridia. Once again thx Ann fr ur support. Hi Ann
