Can you help me regarding my kid’s problem? She is 2 years old and has some eye problem. Doctors said that it is some sort of retinal dystrophy and I would like to know if that is a hereditary condition. Also, they have to additional testing for a final diagnose; but can you tell me if that condition is treatable.

It is a somewhat hard condition for treating because we are talking about the infants here. I suppose that she will be treated with some eye drops (5% sodium chloride drops) and that is for the possible cornea swelling that might occur. And unfortunately, it is hereditary, but not noticeable until the child’s eyes start tearing constantly and there is sensitivity to light too.
