Hello, my 4 year daughter's visual acuity is 6/18 in both eyes with use of glasses with following power (O.D. +1.0 spherical, -3.32 cylindrical 10 degree axis) AND (O.S +0.75 spherical, -3.0 cylindrical 180 degree axis). I am concerned about the development of her vision. Our ophthalmologist says she is expecting a good vision within 1 year of regular eyeglasses use. Is it amblyopia / lazy eye and should we look for any further treatment like pleoptic exercises for her? We have not been advised anything in this regard by our ophthalmologist. As per her she will have normal 6/6 vision within one year. Please guide.
