What Causes Delayed Focus Of The Eye?
Granddaughter is 8 months old. She has dx of delayed focus. She does not make eye contact with toys or people. One eye is turned in to her nose. The other is almost always looking towards her ear, although she can move this eye to make brief eye contact. She weighed 5.2 lbs when born but quickly became very overweight. We are very concerned but the peds dr keeps telling us to wait. I am concerned if we wait much longer we will make the situation worse. Please advise.

Hello. I just read through your question.
What you describe is considered Nirmal up until 6 months of agr. After that however, it is concerning. I recommend taking her to a Pediatric Ophthalmologist as soon as you can. This can be treated. However, I agree with you when you say if we wait any longer it may be too late.
