How Can I Increase Cylidrical And Spherical Poeer Of Eyes?
my son of 5 yrs recently diagnosed for +0.5 spherical and -2.0 Cylindrical in right eye and -1.0 cylindrical and no spherical in left eye. doctor prescribed glasses and said his right eye is lazy and needs patch in left eye for one month every day for half of the time. pl. help me understand if this +0.5 power in right eye developed becasue of cylindrical power. can spherical power be improved with diet or exercises. is there a chance of increase in spherical and/or cylindrical power in future. also what kind of lenses he should use as someone suggested polycarbonate lenses.

hi
there is no authentic study till date that can prove that exercise or diet can change the refractive power of eye.
refractive power based on cumulatively thickness of cornea & eye lens with its capsules mainly.that can not be changed by diet or exercise.
future increase of refractive power based on growth of eyeball and other structure.so it will be too early to comment
