Intermittent Esotropia in Toddlers: A Parent’s Vision Therapy Success Story with Vance Basilio

When Vance Basilio noticed his toddler son’s eye suddenly turning inward, what began as intermittent esotropia gradually became a diagnosis of partially accommodative strabismus. After early reassurance from providers who focused only on eye health, Vance continued searching for answers and eventually found a developmental optometrist who evaluated Luca’s visual function more comprehensively.In this episode, Vance shares their two-year journey of glasses, vision therapy, and intensive daily home practice. He discusses suppression, accommodative vs. non-accommodative components, measurable progress over time, and why their family chose a functional, long-term approach rather than surgery.If you’re navigating a new strabismus diagnosis in your child, this honest parent perspective offers clarity, encouragement, hope, and practical insight.Connect with Denise Allen:Website: https://healingmysight.comHealing our Sight Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063570817348If you liked this episode, click here to send me a message.
