Answer
Thanks for your Question
Examination of squint in child should include dilating fundus examination followed by computer eye examination with dilated pupil. Any power appears in the computer eye exam should be fully corrected with eyeglasses.
You should visit an pediatric ophthalmologist who are specialized in child's eye conditions.
Don't be late to visit this doctor. the sooner the better.
