Hello mums,
Today I am writing this post with a very heavy heart. We are currently on a vacation in our homeland and our world has change dramatically. We noticed our 4.5year old daughter having a squint day before we were flying and thought it’s one off but when we reached here we started noticing it frequently n others too mentioned. We did not waste time and booked an appointment with an ophthalmologist, I had my fingers crossed throughout the tests but at the end of the appointment he said that our daughter has accommodative esotropia and will need to wear glasses all her life. We were sitting there shocked though we did expect something like this having read online about it. We booked another appointment with a leading ophthalmologist n he said the same n also mentioned that the vision in the left eye hasn’t been formed well , he also mentioned that there is no reason for this n that watching tv I pad hadn’t done this. I m a stay at a home mum left my job to be with my baby n now this has really shattered me. Iv been giving her nutritional diet too. She has constipation too can this be a reason for poor vision?
Our daughter has been so good n been wearing specs +2 in both eyes n patching 3-4 hours a day. She’s so positive but our heart breaks to see her in glasses. Also we are concerned that if the squint will go away.
Fellow mums pls share your story if you or a friend has experienced the same.
Thanks a ton
