My baby has a squint

Published by

I noticed that my 6-month-old baby has a squint in one eye. Although I have been assured that the eye will get back to normal as he grows older, I am still worried. Kindly let me know what to do.

Sometimes, wearing eyeglasses is enough to straighten out the eyes. If not, a child might be given an eye patch to wear over the straight eye for a few hours a day. This patch makes the weaker eye do the “seeing” work. Over time, the muscles and vision in the weaker eye become stronger.
