Myopia for 2yr kid
Hello Sir/Madam
Last week we had a general eye check up for my 2.6years old son in near by hospital.
After dilution of his eyes doctors said he is having - 3.5,-3.25d to his right and left eye respectively.
He is too small to wear glasses by understanding his condition. We are making him to keep his eye glasses.
On internet in some sites we have seen Acupressure and reflexology may treat myopia till some extent. Is there any possibility in real conditions to reduce Myopia by reflexology or any diet food ?
I had - 6.5 and - 9d previously and I had a lasik surgery for my eyes. Will it be any genetic problem?

Please get regular check up done for next 2to3 years till the child is co operative enough to understand and use the specs. Later annual check is must.since you are having high myopia hence the chances of the child being myopic are fair.
