convergent squint

does anyone know if a convergent squint always needs glasses?

ds2 has an appt in december after I voiced concerns about a possible squint.

since then I have noticed it more and more and this evening it looked awful (am i right in thinking it can be worse when they're tired?)

i know no-one can make it better or give me and promises, but I am worrying myself over it and I just need to talk it through with anyone who has experience of children with squints.

It makes me really sad thinking of my lovely little boy having to wear glasses, partly because I hate mine, they really irritate me and i don't want him being irritated by soemthing on his face all the time, he is only 4 :(

also, i thought i read something about it being treatable if caught early? is that right?

i think he must be trying to see better, although it came on really suddenly. but he was doing a sticker book with my mum which is quite small and i think it was when he was looking at the book and then looking around and he couldn't adjust quickly iyswim?
but he has been doing it today as well, though not as bad as yesterday.

poor little button. he also has glue ear and can't hear properly, has egg and dairy intolerances so can't eat what everyone else has :( am feeling v.sorry for him right now!
