Hey
My little man has strabismus. We noted this before he was one year old. He's had many tests etc, brain scans etc all were ok. He has been seen at the off-shoots IE Moorefields.
He also turns his head side ways.
The strabismus is noticeable when he is unwell/etc EG cold and has tontsilitus.
He is a bit slower than most toddlers in reading and writing but can count up to 100 etc and knows what the muber mean ie asked to pick ten balls he will get ten. He can say his alpahbet most of the times, runs and plays likes most kids.
We are worried and the last appointment was 3 weeks ago buy not the main doctor nor last time and we have been told no eys patch needed we will monitor.
Does anyone else have or know of a baby/toddler that has strabismus and looks sideways when reading, watching tv etc?
We do have private medical care for him but this was taken out at the age of one, ie a few weeks after we first reported to the gp re eye so not covered.
We are worried and lost as most of the thing I've read are that the earlier this is tread ideally by the age of two the better the result.
Thanks
