Re: How odd is this timing... my daughter just got diagnosed with this.

Its ok, its actually fairly common (more than people realize). A *LOT* of people have it and do not even know they have it.

Like with mine my eye will wander a bit. I also have mono-ocular vision. Meaning I can see out of both but do not 'connect' properly and do not get the 3d effect (I can if I concentrate). Many people the eyes continue to track properly but one will be just a bit slow to catch up. As they can see out of both fairly well.

There is also a set of eye exercises you can do to strengthen it up (which reduces the wandering bit). But being a 2 year old that will be fun... Usually they will use an patch over the good eye for a few months to get the bad one to develop better (at that age, course its been a few years since I went thru it so they may do something else). Which is causing it in the first place.

That reminds me need to make an appointment my current glasses are not helping as much anymore (my right one is slightly over corrected). This is important too. As getting any sort of astigmatism corrected properly as it can make the issue worse.

Also it can skip generations. None of my aunts or uncles have it, or my parents. But a couple of my cousins on my moms side have it.

Actually out of my family I have the best vision. They were all up to bi-focals by my age. I can read without them at all. Just need them once and awhile for reading and driving (as you get older...).

If you didnt even notice it one eye is probably just slightly behind the other eye in development. So the doctor noticed a bit of lag. But he is trained to spot it early...
