Psuedo squint in 5 year old

My dd is 6 next month. Since she was around a year she has looked like she had a squint particularly in photos. Raised my concerns with hv and we were referred to our local hospital. Checked over and told all ok but just a psuedo squint. She still has very large wide apart eyes but at times she looks like her eyes are not the same. A few months ago I took her to an optician and told her my concerns. Checked over and told they would do various tests that would show if she had a squint. She passed all ok and told me it must be a psuedo squint still. Just got her school photos and her eyes look like she has a squint. Is it common for a psuedo squint to still be present at 6? Everything I read suggests they grow out of by her age?

Older children can still have a pseudo squint it depends on the shape of the eyes and nose. Does her eye look like it turns inwards or outwards. I'm an Orthoptist if you want to add a photo just of her eyes I'll have a look and can give you more info
