My 9-year old son s specs number in 2013 was: SPH: OD -2.25 CYL: -2.00 Axis: 003 and OS: SPH: -2.25 CYL: -1.50 Axis: 005. In 2014 it is: OD: SPM: -3.00 CYL: -1.75 Axis: 005 and OS: -2.75 CYL: -1.25 Axis: 005. The Opthalmic Dr said it was a small increase. Should I get new specs for him now or is the difference too small and insignificant? Thank you.
Thanks for putting up your query at Chat Doctor. You should get new glasses for your son if it is not too difficult for you. Although a children eyes can accommodate for small changes in power, it creates unnecessary taxation on the eyes which can increase the problem further. I hope that helps. Feel free to revert with further queries if any.
