Eyesight

How bad does your eyesight have to be for the optician to refer to hospital saying he can't do any more for the patient?
This is my youngest daughter's 4 year old son I am talking about.

Specialist treatment there is so much advanced technology for eye disorders, don't despair he will get treated.

Opticians can only precribe glasses , some conditions require medical intervention. There is a huge range of eye treatments available from hospitals.

Thanks for the answers. I'm just worried because he's so young and his glasses were already like coke bottle bottoms, he'd only had them a couple of months too. I have scant details at present and I hate not knowing things. Forewarned in fore armed as they say

I started of with jam jar bottom glasses now they are as thin as a sixpence bit expensive but worth it, now there are contact lens laser surgery implants etc.

It all depends what the condition is, daffy - some will need referral to an eye specialist, not all conditions can be dealt with in general optical practice.
