Squint (Lazy Eye)
My Baby having lazy eye problem in both eyes.
I have seen that since she was of 4month old now she is 1year old.
I visited to doctor for eye check-up their is not vision problem no numbers in eyes so vision is clear seeing and holding all things properly.
Doctor suggested to make operation at 1.5 years.
Is it good for my baby to make operation at this stage.?
there are chances of one eye getting amblyopic if you don't get it operated. but if you want to avoid it for a year or two then you will have to keep one eye dilated with the help of some dilator drops on an alternate basis ie putting the drops 2to3 times daily in one eye for one wk and in other eye in next wk .
and then get the refraction done iif it recovers by specs it's good otherwise get it operated.
