New baby - anything to improve his odds?
Hi all,
Strabismus runs in my family. I had a few surgeries as a baby, I believe, and had another as an adult which went really well, and my eyes look largely aligned now - but were pretty bad until this adult surgery.
I've just had a baby. Wondering if there's anything I can do in these first few months to improve his odds? Make sure I expose him to lots of different objects at different distances? Plenty of indoor and outside time? Reading to him?
Basically I guess I'm asking is there any evidence for anything I can do to help mitigate the chances of the baby having strabismus, or minimising the extent of it?
For the record I'm going to book an appointment with the same specialist who did my recent surgery but she's suggested waiting until he's 3 months old.
