Nearly 9 months and eyes not focusing

So my son is nearly 9 months he does not focus on me other people or objects he will follow an object if he hears sound. When I am right in front of him talking or singing he keeps looking side to side and not directly at me it's as if hes looking for me. He is not rolling over or sitting up and his muscles are very relaxed. Physio said he will be referred to pediatrician and occupational therapy to see if he can get a high chair which he can sit in. I am worried as I have 2 other kids and know that things are different. Has anyone experienced anything similar ? Thank you

Do you think he can’t see or is avoiding eye contact? Does he look at books for instance?

No he doesnt really focus on anything toys he will look side to side alot rather than focus.

I can understand why you are concerned. Could you get your HV or GP to refer him for an eye test, just to make sure he can see?
