My niece is 15 month old. She is suffering from intermittent extropia which comes n goes since she was 10 month. We took. Her to pediatrician eye specialist. The doctor explained she is having squint in both eyes .The vision in her eyes is 20/20. He mentioned the only option is eye muscle surgery at the age of 4. We wanted to know as this the only option for her. We need to evaluate her eye checkup at 6 month interval. What we have observed that nowadays that she is not squinting frequently its like 3 or 4 times a day. Pls suggest some other. Options for her.

It can be correct without surgery, little bit continuous care, do some eye massage with cow ghee, take 2-3 drops and do massage of closed eye, some eye exercise and patching is recommended but this is not possible due to age, patching may be starts for 1 hrs daily alternates eye, try to do best and take surgery as last option,
