What should I do if I am concerned that my 15 month old baby has lazy eyes that seem to move out of sync?

Doctor's Answer

you probably need to bring your daughter to see an ophthalmologist for an assessment.

You can speak to your GP/polyclinic doctor first, and then either go to see an ophthalmologist in the private sector at your convenience, or perhaps get a referral to a restructured hospital.

During the examination the ophthalmologist/eye doctor will check how well your daughter sees, as well as the spectacle power, if any. The eye movements will also be examined.

Eyedrops will be required for dilating the pupil, and at the end the eye doctor will also examine the inside of the eyes to make sure there is no other underlying disease.
