yes ophthalmologist  is the rigth person (make sure not to go to an optometrist)

the baby might have somehting called Lazy eye and its found in almost 5% of kids

and its  very good that found out this early. the earlier it is found the better

it is.

 

don't worry though , from what i have heard its rectifiable

my kids has a different kind of lazy eye (ambylopia), as ts not apparent in his

case and we didn't find that out till he turned 5. but even in his case the doc

says it can be fixed and we are workng on it. So good luck with it but tell your

sister not too worry till she has a visit with the Opthamologist

Hi Everyone!

 

I was wondering if any of you have had experience

with this with your children.

 

My nephew has been rolling his eyes

for the past few days.  He becomes very whiny and looks to be

uncomfortable then he rolls his eyes up (like he's looking at something

above him) then he's over it and continues as normal.  It happens at all

times of the day not just when he's tired.  My sister took him to the

ER because it really scared her and the CT scan didn't show any seizures or

tumors. 

She has an appt next week with a neurologist and ophthalmologist but

the waiting is killing her as it's just so strange!

 

Has anyone

had experience like this??  Or have any thoughts on what it could be? 

Of course, only as personal opinion and not as medical advice. 

 

Thanks

so very

much!!!!

Denise
