[|AI|]  HiT hanks for your query. I appreciate your concern for your beloved sons vision problem. Following treatment options are available:1. Contact lenses are the main treatment for most patients2. Using sunglasses outdoors may help slow or prevent the progress of the disease.3. High-frequency radio energy (conductive keratoplasty) changes the shape of the cornea so contact lenses work better.4. Corneal transplants can be undertaken if all the above measures failed to yield a positive result. Hope this answers your query. Best regards.
