Ayurveda Specialist 's  Response
**
1. since Eye specialist has done Examination and come upto some Inference thus you should first plan according to his judgement, or you may seek a second opinion from PD Ophthalmologist/ squint specialist.

2. squint in children improve or reduces on its own, and because it is a kind of refractive error thus wearing glasses can correct the problem to some extent.

3. since Age is small, thus I won't suggest any Ayurveda treatment, only constant observation and Reviewing him periodically will decide the outcome
