It usually takes about a month, but sometimes it can take up to six months. Floaters will gradually get smaller and less noticeable as the weeks and months go by, but usually they never disappear completely.

Question

Can you help me understand what the expected vision is for a 5-year-old? Like, if a doctor checks their eyes, should they be able to see the line on the chart that corresponds to 2020 vision? Or is there a different line that's considered normal for kids that age? I'm a bit unsure and would love some clarity on this.

Question

I'm noticing some changes in the power of my right eye, especially with the spherical and cylindrical measurements. Since I started wearing my new glasses, I've been experiencing immediate pain in my right eye, and it feels a bit blurry. Is this something that will adjust over time, or should I get my eye power checked again? Also, I'm getting headaches. I've got pictures of the old and new prescriptions too. Could you help me figure out what's going on?
