And now that he has grown up he started having some defects which is he can't see distance objects clearly and it always affects him in school as he can't sit and view what is being written on the board clearly

And what he does is that though lens are very expensive so he resort to lubricating his eyes and this has helped put his eyes in good condition and help him see better.
