I have a baby who seem to display these symptoms, he turns his head to the left to see,and his eyes seem to be shaky, it is less shaky now,but it still does and his left eyes seem to drift upwards sometime. Could this be the case? Would prisms be a good recommendation for him ?

Go to a eye specialist instead of trying to get free medical advice. Don't ever diagnose yourself based on RUclips videos and information on Google. A specialised doctor will do a full detailed examination and give an accurate diagnosis which is certainly not possible based on short focussed RUclips videos and generalised information on Google. Kindly please don't confuse Dr RUclips / Dr Google or become a Dr yourself without proper years of training. Such information are only for educational purposes mostly for exams, not to diagnose a patient with just 1 part of examination when in fact your baby needs a detailed examination. Please listen to my advice. A fellow parent

@@mc-eo1wh Thanks, I have been to many doctors and the last one recommended prisms, I'm not self Diagnosing, the doctors here in my country don't even know what is wrong with him, many recommend he would self correct, not even knowing what it is, I was only seeking for an opinion, thanks
