My ds is now 10 months and still has a mild squint in his left eye, particularly when he is tired. I am supposed to have a hospital appointment but so far no sign of one coming up. I am a bit concerned as I thought he should be seen before he turns one. Also, I don't know what treatment options there are. Does anyone have experience of this? I would be grateful for any advice.
BTW he was born by c-section but they had to use forceps and afterwards he didn't open his left eye for several days, and when he did, his eyelid really drooped and he had a squint. I read on another post that squints might be caused by birth trauma and wondered if that might apply to my ds's case. Any thoughts?
