DD is 12 months, she has a bit of a squint so has been referred to see and Opthomolgist, what treatment or tests could she have? I dreading them saying glasses, I think they'd last about 2 mins

she could just have a wide bridge and look as if she is squinting. A squint can also be caused by problems with sight - I noticed dd squinting around 18 months and she was found to be long sighted in both eyes but with poorer eyesight in her left eye (lazy eye). She did get glasses and also had patching treatment to improve the sight in her left eye (a patch is worn over the good eye to make the other eye work harder).
