My daughter had a successful operation to correct an esotropic suint when she was aged 4. Now aged 10 , I have recently seen her develop the first signs of the operated eye turning outwards. When I ask her to look at me, then cover the 'good' eye , the exotrpoic eye then turns in. She tells me the vision is good in both eyes-but we will have to wait until next Friday ( the first opticians appointment I could get!) to find out.
WHilst I have no doubt the opticians will be good, I wondered if I should not be botheing with them - and instead immediately go back to the specialist who originally operated on her ( and her twin brother who also had the same successful operation,although he still requires glasses-his sister doesnt).
From what I have managed to read, these types of squint reversals are not operable without a high risk of permanent double vision. It seems glasses are an answer and to my surprise, botox seems to be a viable option.
I would appreciate advice on what the current/latest medical views are - risks etc to the possible prognosis and treatment.
Thank you
