    Exotropia- one eye going outwards when tired?

    DD will be 3 in march next year and we have noticed a couple of months ago that when she's staring into space her right eye goes a tiny bit outwards and occasionally during the day when she is thinking. Her vision is no problem because she can see very far. Has anyone had the same problem?

    I did as a kid and my niece does now too. Her mum is around here somewhere but I can't remember her username. Niece is going for surgery. I think you can also go to see a behavioural optometrist and they have exercises etc. HTH

    yeah go see an optom or behavioural optom. she may need to wear a patch over her good eye a couple of hours a day or do other exercises.
    its usually pretty fixable if caught nice and early. leave it too late and the muscles cant fix themselves.
