Patient's question:
On the prescription, it says right spherical 0.00, left spherical 4.00, cylinder -0.5, axis 165. Do we need to recalculate for the glasses made from this prescription? What if the refractive power differs between the spherical and cylinder measurements?Doctor's answer:
Hello! The refractive power and back-refractive power are different. You need to go back to the ophthalmologist for a back-refraction to determine the correct prescription for your glasses. The best treatment for amblyopia is wearing suitable glasses for correction and patching the eye. Both are essential. On the first day, the ciliary muscle had no accommodative ability, and the pupil did not constrict. On the second day, the pupil had accommodative ability, but it might be weaker, so the prescription will change.
