My daughter had strabismus (which i know is different). the reason for my reply is to warn you of the patching. The tape is horrible and will cause marks, possibly ripping of the skin. i used a pirate like patch when she was an infant bc she couldnt remove it. im proud you are getting a second opinion regarding surgery. hopefully at a Children's Hospital. We allowed military doctors to sway us into infant surgery at 12 weeks and 16 weeks, then at 10 mos. nothing helped but glasses!! my daughters final surgery was at 6 years old to remove scar tissue from previous surgeries. enough said. good luck, and god bless!View Thread
