Hi Dr. Wong, My answer is partial, since I had the problem. Success depends on the person's motivation. I was taught how to "Control it". This by Playing Tennis, and other methods. I know parents are terrified when the see "eye wonder", in a child. I think a lot of the problem comes from some truly bad, "eye habits", some children conduct while reading. You have my sympathy, what ever approach you choose to use. Thanks for your excellent review!

This is the best video I've seen on this

Hi Dr. Can you help me? What if it just pops up at 10 months?

My 2 yo daughter had strabismus surgery a few weeks ago and the results have been simply incredible. We are so happy we decided to go for it. Patching and glasses seems totally fruitless for a toddler.

Of course! I'm glad to help. If you have any other topics you would like me to cover just let me know. 💗 I will be hoping for a good result from the doctor.

Our 2 month-old baby brother have shown this congenital esotropia just today. It brought all of us to tears when it just doesn't stop. His eyes only go back to normal for just seconds and he's crossed eyed again. We keep him entertained or talk to him ALL THE TIME just to not keep it crossed (since it stops it). We also kept on closing his eyes expecting it to go normal when he opens it. We also massage his forehead cuz it seems effective. We can only meet a pediatrician tomorrow morning and we don't have any idea to stop seeing him that way other than making him sleep. I hope it doesn't progress to any of the complex treatments. It pains us not to see our little angel smiling.

@@DrRupaWong hello. An update about our baby brother's condition: his cranial ultrasound showed normal results. The pediatrician referred him again to another hospital to have a CT Scan with a better pediatrician he personally know. He said it was his first time seeing our baby's case at his very young age. He also wondered why our baby's skull is fully formed at only 2 months and 9 days old. At this point, my Father doesn't have any plans on having him for further tests. He's overthinking about the expenses it will cost cuz we know and were said that it's gonna be something serious ahead.

Hi dr. My son was diagnosed with mild CP at the age of 6 month. After taking his second shots I notice a day or 2 after his eyes keep moving back and forth then I took him to the hospital and that’s when they told me he has CP. he has seizures also infantile spasms that’s the of seizures. His eyes never came back straight from then it looks pretty lazy in the left one. I have been to the eye clinic all year around all they tell me is the nerves in the left eye is weak. I keep asking how can I help all they said is give him lots of greens. I’m very sad n don’t know what to do. I would love to get some advice n more info from you. I can send u pictures also.

Hey quick question did your daughter have one of her eyes go inward? And if so was it when she was watching TV or trying to focus on something did it happen? And did glasses help the issue just recently dealing with something similar wanted advice? Thank you❤

Hi Dr Rapu, this was very helpful. I was about 5 when my strabismus started, I am in my late 20s now. It's not permanent, meaning I can make it appear straight. Would surgery be appropriate in my case?

Usually we see it when he's tired or his eyes are unfocused. We'll be taking him to the doc asap!

Hi, our little girl is 18 months old. She crosses her eyes now and again. It's not very often at all but she does do it every so often. How much eye crossing would you say is a concern and would you recommend getting a referral for her to see someone and get it checked out? Thanks

Having eye crossed at birth is natural. I have 3 children when they were a baby I always noticed their one eye sometimes go to its corner while the other is ok. Thanks God we have a book titled "Where there is no doctor" btw i live in the Philippines. What i did is i cover the good eye with my hand only lol, baby will resist but just do it .. i think I did it 2-3 times until it turns ok. All of them I did that and they have a beautiful symmetrical eyes. Thanks to that book.

My daughter is 1 years old and she has crossed eyes I did not know she should have gotten surgery before she is 1 they suggested patching and glasses I will continue bringing this up until some listens to me I brought it up sense she was young smh but not all but some think they know your child better than you.

My pediatrician doctor has been telling us for the last 2 months my son will grow out of it he’s 3 months old now I’m get a second opinion now

Hi is Anisometropia something you can see my daughter have refractive error

I had crossed eyes as a baby and it didn’t go away as u said , I did eye excercises for years to over come it. I am 52 years old now and it only shows up if I am really tired. Just found out that I only use 1 eye at a time to see and when that one eye gets tired, it automatically switches to the other and I know, no difference. Does this have a name?
