Pediatrician,  's  Response
Hi,

If the eyes are moving during cover test then the child is having non-paralytic strabismus. You can consult the ophthalmic surgeon for complete evaluation.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Rajmohan, Pediatrician
