Are glasses necessary?
If the child has significant refractive error, glasses are a must. In some cases
wearing glasses may correct squint. In other cases, wearing glasses help the
eyes to see clearly. This clear vision is very important for the treatment of
amblyopia, and also for maintaining the alignment of eyes after they have been
aligned by surgery. Remember surgery cannot replace the need for glasses.
