squint in infants usually is made by the eyes to overcome a refractory error ( that's why your ophthalmologist gave the child glasses to wear) , and it was very important to put stickers on one of his eyes to prevent what is called amblyopia ( this brain disables one eye to make a better vision ) .
so the commitment to this treatment is very important yet it's hard , but it's vital for the child's eyes .
any other measures is strictly prohibited .
I hope this helps
