  5. I'm really worried about my daughter. She's got a cylindrical power of 1.25 in her right eye and 1.0 in her left. Is this something serious? Does she have to wear glasses all the time now, or are there ways to treat this? I've heard cylindrical power can get worse over timeis that true? Are there any medicines that could help her out?

Your daughter has mild astigmatism, which is common and generally not serious. Glasses can help correct her vision, and she may need to wear them regularly, especially for activities like reading or watching TV. Astigmatism can change over time, so regular eye check-ups are important. There's no specific medicine to treat it, but glasses or contact lenses can manage it effectively.
