Hi, well I'm at a last resort here!!! My 6 year old son got glasses when he was 3 years old with the vision of 20/30 and 20/60. Three years later and many, many patches and glasses his vision is now at 20/100 and 20/300. He wears his glasses religiously with absolutely no complaint and we have been to several optometrists. All they tell me to do is continue with the patch and that he's too young to do anything else. My biggest fear is with the rate he's going it will be too late to do anything by the time he's old enough. The terms we've heard are strabismus and amblyopic,,,,and have found out today that his eye is not "turned". Is there something else I can do????? At a loss here! Thanks for any help!
