What Causes Child To Look Side Ways While Watching Television?

My child is 5 yrs old. While looking the tv, she is not seeing it straightly. She is looking in sideways, that is turning towards left side and seeing it with her left eye. This become a habit for her. Does this can be changed automatically in future?

Hi
welcome to HCM
If your child is making use of one eye while viewing television , it might be due to refractive error.Does she sees straight in other activities.You need an eye examination by eye doctor to rule out any eye related problem.If there is no problem in eye examination ,then it could be due to habit.If due to habit then you have to handle it patiently and with reward points for seeing straight.Yes it can improve if due to habit but first eye problem needs to be ruled out.
Hope I answered your query
