Hi. My 3 yr old daughter was first seen by an ophthalmologist when she was about 1. the Dr was not overly concerned with her 1.0 at that time. She had a follow up visit with another Dr today and was 3.0. This Dr wants her to wear glasses. My questions: since she went from a 1.0 to a 3.0 - does this mean her vision is and will continue to get worse? Is it possible this will improve on its own? Are glasses 100% necessary and/or the only hope for correction? And will it ever be possible for her to have normal vision with or without glasses? And lastly, did the fact that she was 6 weeks premature cause this? As I am sure you can tell, I am a bit freaked out that her number changed so greatly for the worse...
Thanks so much!
