Hello doctor. My son is 6 years old this year. When she was 4 and a half years old, she discovered astigmatism and wore glasses, every 6 months she went for a check-up at Hanoi Eye Hospital, but she told me to wear my father's nearsighted glasses to see better. I don't know if there is a problem with the glasses you are wearing? Thank you doctor.

Hello, maybe now your baby's refraction has changed compared to before, you should take her to an eye specialist to check her refraction level.
Thank you for your question to Vinmec.com website. Best regards.
