I know she will probably have to have glasses but will they do anything else? She is 4 and it is becoming more and more pronounced.

Probebly she will have to use a patch. DD has had one for about 2 years, they have gradually incresed the lengh of time to wear it.

Patch it but might not stop it without glasses. My eldest has this but glasses correct it so not so much of a concern, cosmetically. Can't always be corrected with an op either.

I was patched from a very young age (as a baby) and then operated on at 18mths. Wasn't a complete success though, as they accidently brought my eye too far out Angry

Is it something she's always had or has it just developed?

has started in the last 6 months. I had it when I was little but much younger than this. I had glasses and a patch.
