  • Poor wee thing,

    Its now acceptable now mate to wear glasses.

    She will be trendy and admired,thats good isnt it?

  • I had a squint that was corrected at the age of four. I had to wear an eye patch on the stronger eye to encourage the weak eye to work harder. A girl in my class also wore an eye patch so it was never a problem at school and we were very young. It was never a problem again, although you can sometimes see my 'lazy eye' pointing inwards when I am tired. Also I am slightly short sighted but only in the 'stronger' eye as apparently it was strined in those early years. I hope this reassures parents.

  • What is a squint?

  • aww she is soooo cute

  • SHE'S ADORABLE! <3

  • i was born with a cataract in my left eye. i had the broken lens removed at 5 weeks old. i had a squint as a child and wore an eye patch, through my early years before starting school, on my right eye to make the left stronger. this helped a little but the squint was still there. i had an operation to fix my squint when i was around 8 and that sorted it out pretty well. i'm now 15 and my eye does turn out when im tired but other than that the operation was great. i'd recommend it to anyone :)

  • I wish I had it when I was young. I'm now thinking about the surgery for my strabismus

  • I had a squint when I was young, I also had a patch over my glasses. I had a operation when I was 11 and they corrected my eye(-:

  • My boyfriend has a squint. I tease him about it, but we're both fine with it.

  • she is so cute!!!!!
