Hello doctor,

I have been using only one eye since birth. This is a result of a medicine that my mother took when I was in her womb. My right eye is normal, but the left has a squint. I can see a little light in my left eye, but I cannot really use this eye for seeing. By this time, I got another problem with my one and only eye. I cannot clearly see things that are ten meters away from me. I am afraid to lose my sight. I need your help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

You need to get your eyes tested for a refractive error that is glasses or spectacles. You have become nearsighted so get this test by an ophthalmologist. Your left eye has turned inward that is esotropia. You need to consult a pediatric ophthalmologist that is squint specialist. This eye can be straightened though it is difficult to get the sight in the left eye. If you undergo squint surgery, this can be centralized.
