My DD1 is 3 years old and has a divergent squint in her left eye. She has had an initial appointment at the eye hospital and has another in August when she will be tested to see if it has worsened. I think it is getting worse in that I notice the squint more frequently than say 6 months ago. I completely trust the opinion of the consultant we will see, but I'm wondering whether anyone can advise me on what is likely to happen to her at he next appointment and what are the likely outcomes? For instance if it's likely that I'll be told she needs an operation I think I need to steel myself as I don't want to frighten her with an upset reaction. Will she have stinging drops in her eyes for the next tests? Will she perhaps be given a patch? Thanks in advance for any replies.
