He was hit on the right side of his head and fractured his skull and had a sixth nerve palsy on the right side, affecting the right eye. We kept the left eye patched as much as we could because he was developing amblyopia and losing vision in the right eye. It was stuck in a crossed position for months (not sure how he was able to see anything that way with the normal eye patched, but he functioned/compensated very well), and then gradually it began moving toward the outside--a tiny bit each day until it was able to track all the way to the outside. The eye doctor was surprised because normally there is not complete recovery after trauma.


If i put a pencil or something in front of his face and move it slowly back and forth, his eyes only track together for about 5 seconds and he moves his head back and forth. But they track just fine when he is reading and he is fluent. We had a neuro-opthamologist look at his tracking and she thought he is fine unless he is forced to track on command. So I'm not really sure how much it affects him.
