We ask Mr Kumaresan whether or not he knows that his eyes can turn out alternatingly, he said yes & he is able to bring his eyes back in. He started to realise his eyes turning out, more on his left eye.. about 8years ago. He normally can see his phone for about 10minutes only.. before his near vision becomes blurry & completely whitish.. and by then, he will stop seeing his phone.
We prescribe Dot Card eye exercise.. see whether or not he is willing to put in some effort to do it.
We will see him back after his eye appointment.
