3-year-old with occasional slight squint, is this reasonably normal?

[madamez]

DS occasionaly goes a bit cross-eyed when concentrating on something close up to him, and his left eye seems to roll inwards now and again. Is this something he will grow out of, and if not, should I take him to GP, optician or ask HV about it?

My dd has a squint in her right eye that was getting more and more pronounced so we took her to the GP. We were referred to the orthoptist and opthalmogist and she now has glasses. The squint was caused by her right eye being more long sighted than her left eye so her right eye becoming dominant (accomodative esotropia it's called). This is all pretty recent, in the past month. She goes back in the new year to see whether her glasses are helping to correct the squint - if not then the next step is to patch the strong eye to get the weak eye to work harder.

She's 3.5 btw

sorry her left eye is dominant - the right eye is the one that turns in (left, right, whatever )

Take him to the GP for a referal. He will either have his eye patched (the good eye) or need glasses. This will only work until a child is 9 years old, so I have heard.

best to get it checked or it can get worse. Or it may means he needs glasses anyway. DD has a slight one, and had glasses at 3, but now it only appears very rarely and her vision is excellent so she no longer needs them.
Squint correction only works well when treated early, so I'd try to get him seen asap.

get it checked. dd (3) had major squints and will be having surgery one day.
