Dont worry, your spectacle power should stabilise within the next 5 years or so. Only after this happens, can u think about laser surgery to correct your vision.

I'm really concerned about my 5-month-old son. He was diagnosed with eye conjunctivitis on January 13, 2016, and the doctor recommended we use Toba eye drops - 2 drops, 4 times daily for 5 days. Unfortunately, the conjunctivitis kept coming back, so we ended up using the drops for 15 days. The doctor has now advised us to switch to Moxiflox. I'm worried - could using the eye drops for an extended period cause any increase in his eye pressure?
Prolonged use of antibiotic eye drops like Toba (tobramycin) and Moxiflox (moxifloxacin) may increase the risk of antibiotic resistance, but the risk of increased eye pressure is relatively low; however, it's essential to follow your doctor's instructions and attend regular follow-up appointments to monitor your son's condition and adjust treatment as needed.
