Eye condition
Vision in one eye does not develop properly in early childhood, so the brain relies on the other eye. Treatment with glasses and patching works best when it starts young, ideally before about age 7.
At a glance
Every child should have a vision check before starting school. Book sooner if you notice a squint or a droopy eyelid. Get same-day eye care for a white reflex in the pupil in photos.
The doctor decides which you need. Every test is done at the clinic.
