Hi all,
My 5.5 DD has just be diagnosed as having a very lazy left eye. Aesthetically she looks ok (no turn in her eye) but the sight is quite poor in her left. Her right has been carrying her thus far. We are on a list to see an ophthalmologist privately but it will still be a week or 2. The optician said we will need to patch and she will need glasses.
I'm sure the patching regime differs from child to child but can anyone give me a ball park idea what to expect? Is it all day for months, a few hours a day for years? How as the outcome?
Thanks in advance!
