What Is The Suggested Treatment For Squint Eye In Child?
Hi, My daughter is 9 months old and her squint eye is obvious.I visited a Opthomoligist and she said it not squint but because her nose is flat it looks like a squint. But i am worried as i have a bit of squint in my right eye. Even if it is cosmetic, how do i have to proceed? Please help

Hello
It seems from the history that your 9 month old daughter is having squint.
The treatment of squint depends on the cause of squint.
The treatment options are spectacles in case of refractive error related or accommodative squint.
Surgery is required for congenital swuint.
Since in your daughters case ophthalmologist has told that it is pseudo squint no need to worry it does not require treatment.
However if you are in doubt you can take a second opinion from another ophthalmologist.
Thank you
