Can a squint go?

[Missmiller]

My daughter wears glasses for longsightedness (+3.5 and +4). She has had patching which has meant her eyes are both seeing equally with her glasses on and she has good skills on the 3D test thing. Anyway, without glasses, her eye turns in. Is it likely or possible for children to grow out of a +4 prescription it will she always need glasses? She’s 5, and has worn glasses for two years . Thanks

I have a squint in my right eye and i had corrective surgery when i was 5 in 1996. My squint goes in towards my nose not towards my ear. Ive always had to wear glasses. My right eye while i can see perfectly from it is essentially "redundant" and my left eye does all the work as my brain has got used to my right eye not pulling its weight lol

I would say she will probably need them long term. I think that's similar to my dds prescription and she will always need them. She got them at 18 months and is now 14. She also squints when they are off

The long sight may improve a little over time too though but not entirely disappear

Thank you for the replies.

I thought children could outgrow longsightedness to an extent. The orthoptist mentioned laser eye surgery or contact lenses would be an option in future.
