What is the treatment?
In children it is important to exclude an underlying cause. Children need to be checked for the need for glasses, which may help to control the squint. It is extremely important for children to have regular follow-up appointments to ensure their vision develops normally. Some children may need patching of one eye to allow the weaker eye to develop. A small number of children may require surgery, but this is generally after the vision has been allowed to stabilise.
