Squint Eye??

[krysalyss]

Hey EJ, no worries. I just remember that a behavioural optometrist posted here once and said that surgery is mostly cosmetic but that he felt they could use fix the underlying problem. But I don't know much personally and he may have just been talking about certain conditions. But as it is non-invasive it probably wouldn't hurt to look into it.

I've been having more of a read on the internet.

DS's turning is intermitant i think and there was mention of this not necessarily needing surgery (on one particular website).

DH came home from work and said one of the guys he works with daughter has a very noticable turning (moreso than DS) and she is on a course of drops for two years. He wants to get a second opinion.

The website i found was promoting a form of 'eyerobics'. You buy dvds that show you how to do the exercises. I'm not about to go out and buy random things off the internet but i'm really unsure how sucessfull i'd be in getting a 4yr old to do them anyway if i wanted to try and take that approach.

How do i go about getting a second opinion? As i said i have no expereince with this at all. Do i get a referal to another specialist? The appt i have for May will include a whole lot of other tests so i don't know that this dr will straight away say surgery, but hopefuly she'll be a little easier to get some constructive infomation from.

I do want to sort this out in the best way i can find how for the benifit of my son though. He's not starting school until 2013, i'd love to have it sorted out for him to avoid any self-esteme issues.
