My teenaged daughter recently complained about poor vision. We took her to an optometrist and it turns out that she needs a prescription for myopia. We tried asking the optometrist how severe her nearsightedness is, but he brushed us off by answering in very vague terms (he was quite busy).
Being a parent, I want a more detailed answer. Is my daughter's vision quite badly impaired? Does she need correction all the time, and if so, is she a good candidate for contact lenses.
Here is the prescription:
Right -1.50 -0.25 Axis 180
Left -1.00 -1.25 Axis 180
We were thinking about ortho k lenses to prevent further deterioration. Is that a good option?
