Suggest Remedy For Problem In Vision

Hi,My 5 year old son has been detected with 0.25 power in left eye and 1 power (cylindrical) in red eye. He has never complained of any headache or red/watery eyes.Does he need to wear specs? and Is there any chance that this will get corrected naturally in future and he can get rid off the glasses ?Regards

your information is not correctly reported. for refractive error eye need not be red or to have watery discharge. it can be detected on test. refraction be done and if the power defect detected then the child has to put on specs.
