At 19 months, this should not be ignored because:
Early treatment is crucial to prevent lazy eye (amblyopia) or permanent vision problems. Children may need glasses, eye patching, or in some cases, surgery, depending on the cause and severity. If treated early, the chances of full visual development and eye alignment are much better.
Please book an eye exam soon, even if the inward turn happens only sometimes. Early detection makes a big difference.
