Suggest Treatment For Lazy Eye

I have a 22 month old daughter with lazy eye. Most often her left eye goes out to the side, but occasionally her right eye will go out and up a bit. I took her to a local eye doctor who gave me very little information and said because she is to young to test her vision she cant be treated right now. Can she be treated at this age and if so what are the treatments?

Ophthalmologist,  's  Response
Hello
Welcome to health care magic.

I reviewed your history.
It seems from the history that your daughter is having squint.
This needs to be treated now only to prevent development of ambylopia.
Delay in treatment is not advisable.
Hence I advice you to consult your pediatric ophthalmologist for examination and treatment at the earliest.

Thank you
