[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 183114, member: 2423"] A note of caution to anyone reading this thread: Before trying to diagnosis or treat your child yourself, you absolutely need an evaluation with a qualified pediatric vision specialist. Convergence and tracking issues are different and require different interventions. I had a convergence problem as a child (diagnosed at age 2), which required prescription glasses and patching of the strong eye to force the "lazy" eye to work harder. My brother had a similar but more serious problem that required surgery at age 2. I would also encourage any parent concerned about a child's vision problems to see an ophthalmologist, who is a medical doctor and can evaluate for any diseases of the eye that can cause problems.
