No ophthalmologist here.pls help me ooo.

Hmm, did u ask if she could use glasses instead or did it have to be contact lens?
But health wise,she's not too young to start using it . The probs is just with d respobnsibility and proper care.

tnx fr ur response.we actually went for glasses but after d tests,contact lens was suggested instead.

i got frm ur oda post dt one eye wz said to b amblyopic. since an eye is amblyopic den d refractive power
in both eyes definately shld differ (anisometropia )
hence using contact lense in ha case wld b better
to prevent xperiencin
disparity in retinal image size (anisekonia ). bt u
may hv to wori abt d amblyopic eye turnin
stabismic (half pst 4 eye)hence causin cosmetic disappeal.

u r right it's -2 against -12.and Fr d stabismic,she unconsciously exhibit dat often.wat is d cost of contact lens pls.meanwhile,anoda view suggests we produce 2 medical lens,1 Fr day activities while d oda fr indoor activities.d reason given fr d disparity is to use d indoor own fr correctional by blanking d gud eye then stimulating d lazy eye.

handling dis kind of case requires d expertise of a specialist in vision training (an orthoptist ). i tink he or she wld b in a better position to mk decisions on d best treatment options. nd i hv no idea on hw much a contact lens cost bt i knw its more challangin to use dn d normal glasses
