No: Pseudostrabismus is just the appearance that the eyes are not aligned correctly, when in reality they are. Usually it looks that way because of the skin folds around the eye being a little different one side to the other, and so the eyes just look out of line. If an eye doctor has examined and told you the alignment is fine, then it is. It won't 'convert' to strabismus, because there is no problem.

No: Pseudostrabismus refers to the appearance of an 'eye turn' or misalignment (usually eyelid anatomic conditions). It bears no relevance to a true misalignment of the eyes. If it is truly pseudostrabismus (not misdiagnosed strabismus) than your daughter is at no higher risk of developing true strabismus than anyone.
