1 year old baby eye deviation?

Eye deviation (strabismus) around 1 year old must be evaluated by an eye doctor.
Continuous or frequent eye misalignment at this age — whether inward, outward, or up-down — is not considered normal. While occasional brief misalignment can be physiological up to 3-4 months of age, at 1 year this pattern shouldn't continue or newly appear. This could signal eye muscle imbalance, refractive error, or (rarely) a neurological condition.
Early intervention is critical to prevent lazy eye (amblyopia). The sooner treatment begins, the better the chances of preserving vision.
My recommendation: Schedule an appointment with an eye specialist (preferably pediatric ophthalmology) without delay. During the exam, pupils are usually dilated with drops for detailed evaluation.
