In R eye, I am very concerned as 2 how different his eyes will appear with his glasses on. We will find out in a couple days when his glasses get here….

I know that many kids seem to develop strabismus (a squint) at age 2 or 3 that’s due to hyperopia, but I don’t know if that’s due to a change in their refractive error, or if it’s because their hyperopia is finally manifesting itself as eyes crossing. If anyone else knows, I’d love to know the answer to that, too.

If his eyes are straight while wearing glasses, then no, there should be no need for an operation. I have read that in 3 out of 4 cases, no surgery is necessary.

This came as quite a shock to me as I had no idea that his vision was so bad up till the squint appeared at around 2 years old. Dose this mean he has had this as a baby and I never noticed!?
Also, anyone know if an operation is nessasary? (Because I cant get the doctors over here to talk to me about that!)
P.S Great web site! This has been great help to me, since I feel that there is know one to talk to about this kind of stuff who is in the same position.

His PO had mentione dit in the past, but circumstances would dictate whether we try sooner, if at all..

Your son looks great!!
Did your PO say anything about going to contact lenses at a young age for your son becasue of the high script and difference between the eyes? Ours seemed to think around eight or nine would be appropriate for Paris to go to a contact lense in her weak eye?
