Hello doctor,
My sister's daughter has congenital astigmatism of 4.75 diopters. She is just two years old, but my sister does not want her to wear glasses. Please suggest some treatment.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I am sorry, but glasses are the only treatment option for congenital astigmatism. If the child does not wear glasses, he might suffer amblyopia. I suggest you tell your sister that she let her daughter wear glasses.
