Talk to Eye Specialist on Eye Squinting

Asking for Self, Male, 3 years old, E-11, Islamabad

AoA

I recently posted about my 3 year old son having a little occasional squint in his eyes. So as per recommendation of Marham doctor, I went to see an eye specialist. The specialist suggested my son had a minor 0.5 reading on his left eye. So to confirm any suspicion I am required to use "Cyclopen Eye drops" every 20 mins for 2 hours and bring the child for re-examination. My question is this practice safe for a child? Also can you confirm anything from the test results I have? I have the eye test results and doctor prescription which I will attach if requested. Kindly reply as I have to make a decision and am very concerned.
