Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

My son is detected with hypermyopia with power of +1.5. Can it be cured with medicine or exercise?

Answered by Dr. Shikha Gupta

Welcome to icliniq.com.

What is his age?

Patient's Query

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

With medicines or exercise, it cannot be cured. He should use glasses or contact lenses. Otherwise, can go for refractive surgery also but once his refraction gets stabilized.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
