Amblyopia in left eye
My son aged 5 years has been diagonized with amblyopia on his left eye. His right eye vision is normal and he can read 6/6.
His left eye vision is
WITHOUT GLASSES 6/9 bar
WITH 0.5 numbee 6/6 bar.
However doctor has prescribed him glasses of 2.5 number. With 2.5 number, his vision is only 6/18 bar.
How can he wear glasses with a number with which he is not able to read what he could otherwise read with normal eyes? Please help.. Should he wear glasses for 2.5 number or 0.5 number?
Please help.
Thanks

He must use glasses regularly and the most effective treatment will be occlusion of better eye but since the better eye is also not 6/6 hence partial occlusion is advised.
The recovery is possible only up to the age of 10to12 yrs.
