I am hoping that somebody can help me...
My son is now 9 months old and recently we have noticed that his one eye is a little bit lazy. My hubby and I have done some reading on the internet and apparently if the necessary steps are taken at this young age, possibly even in the form of eye drops, then the problem can be corrected easily, but if left until he is 4 or 5 (when normal Optitions will see him due to the fact that he has to be able to read) then it is too late and more drastic measures would have to be taken.
As you all know, to be referred to a specialist on the NHS could take months and I am trying to avoid waiting any longer than I really have to. I am hoping that somebody either knows somebody who is an Ophthalmologist or has any other advice.
Like all parents, we only want the best for our children, and I would appreciate any help I can get.
Admin, I am sure this post should be elsewhere, just not sure where??
