Patient discussion about glasses.
Q. My myopic son is wearing power glasses. Are there any other nutritional supplements to support eye sight? My myopic son is wearing power glasses from the age of 2 years. His power is not very high yet but the rate of his eye power is doubling every year. Doctor had given him some medicines and had told him to have lots of carrots. We are giving him carrot juice every day. But soon he stopped taking it for some months. But he is having juice now but I wish to know are there any other nutritional supplements to support eye sight?

Q. Is drinking 3 glasses of wine a day, alcoholism? My husband drinks 3 glasses of wine a day. As I am afraid whether he will become an alcoholic like his father. To check him I put my husband in a situation where he can't drink, for example, to a day at a museum and I saw him who starts looking at his watch, getting nervous, scratching, etc. Is it a symptom of alcoholism? Is drinking 3 glasses of wine a day, alcoholism?

Q. My sister`s son has broken my computer monitor and has thrown a heavy toy at glass-cased book shelf. My sister `s son has broken my computer monitor and has thrown a heavy toy at glass-cased book shelf. He is constantly tearing books and scribbling on the walls and we cannot control him. We have to keep an eye on him all the time. Since we live together this is causing a lot of friction in my sister, my brother-in-law and me. We tried sending him to child care centers as we all go to work, but he is very violent and destructive at these places too. Please advice.
