Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

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

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

What is his age?

Thank you doctor,

Age is 17 years 10 months.

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.
