Pediatrician,  's  Response
Sometimes it become very difficult to know and prescribe exact lens power in case of cylindrical lenses .Best way to deal with is to allow that power with maximum accuracy in vision with minimum strain to eye and that can be done by subjective method with the help of an expert eye specialist.
