Answer 1

Check whether child has worms in the stomach.  I have seen many cases where the cause for the squint is worms and particularly in children. I have also see cure in many cases where medicines for worms have cured the squint.   Use Cina 30 three doses a day three globules each dose for maximum three days. followed by Cina 1M one dose (two globules) in fifteen days upto three doses.  No surgery would be necessary.  You may also give Sulphur 30 if found necessary. with best wishes.  Stool test some time do not give accurate presence of worms in stomach/liver/lungs/behind the eyes.  Other symptoms of worms are grinding of teeth, putting fingers in nose, ear and a**s.  Lying on the belly, convulsion, fever, fits, black depressed ring around the eyes, white discolouration or round spots on cheeks, stools black in colour and like sheep dung (chelidonium ), presence of worms in stools. Sound while sleeping as if snoring. etc.etc. Any or all of the symptoms.

Answer 2

It is difficult to answer your question correctly as examination of the patient and correct diagnosis is extremely important to give a correct advise. If you have any concerns you can have your child seen by an other eye surgeon expert in that field and have an expert opinion.
