Question

My child has a bit of an eye squint and has been blinking frequently lately. What should I do?

Answer

Strabismus and blinking can be caused by various factors, including refractive errors, amblyopia, or habitual movements. It is recommended that you take your child to an ophthalmologist for a comprehensive eye examination, especially for vision issues. Pay particular attention to the checks for amblyopia and strabismus. If there are vision problems, treatment should be sought early.
