My son failed his eye test at school, he is only 4 so first eye test he has had, we referred to the hospital and they dilated his eyes with drops and looked inside and couldn’t see anything out of the ordinary, we then waited a few weeks for another appointment with an eye doctor who again dilated his eyes and looked in them, she said she thought the optic nerve at the back of his left eye which is the one with bad vision ) looked a bit more grey, she wasn’t very sure so got another doctors opinion who said he didn’t notice a difference , she then said it could be a micro squint, I’ve googled about it and can’t find any info so wondered if anyone had been in a similar situation as I’m worried sick if it is the optic nerve endings or something else irreversible, we now have to wait two months for another appointment
