Oswald eye checkup

Brought Oswald to his PD for his annual assessment and during the assessment PD did an eye screening. That brief screening suggested that Oswald might not be seeing quite well and PD suggest that we bring him to an eye specialist for a detail check up.

I'd booked him in for a checkup this morning at Gleneagles and result of the check up as follows:-


Convert to layman terms = Oswald got astigmatism for both eyes (200 - right eye, 225 - left eye). Though it was said that is it normal for kids his age to have astigmatism and he is still in the acceptable range but his degree is on the higher end of the acceptable figures. Doctor said for this kind of result at this age, very likely the astigmatism is due to the shape of the eye ball. But at this age, there's still chance that his eye ball will grow rounder and hence astigmatism would reduce. So, meanwhile, doctor said to let him put on spectacles and to review him 2 months later to see how is the situation.
