Q: Infant's Eyes

Hey yall, I just had my baby 6 weeks ago. I really don't know if yall can help or anything but I have a question regarding her eyes. I have scheduled a doctor visit for tomorrow but I am still looking for input. Anyways, her pupils are uneven. One looks dilated the other doesn't. I have researched the net a little and have found that some people have pupil problem but all the info is kind of vague. Do yall think this is a newborn thing and her eyes still need to adjust or what? It really scares me. Sad

I would like to ask, I have recently noticed that my 8 months year old baby start rolling his eyes on top of his head and blinks quite a lot when he does it. He rolls his eyes that you can see his white of his eyes. It all last about few seconds, but he can do it up to 5 times. Is there a simple explanation or it is need for him to be seen by neurologist.
Many thanks Jana

I don't think you need to go directly to a neurologist. Why not mention it to your baby's doctor and see what they say? Most of the information I was able to find on the internet says that these problems can be normal or can be a problem and that you should take the baby to a doctor or opthamologist so that they can assess it to be on the safe side. I think mentioning it at the next doctor's visit would be easy to do and that way the doc can let you know if they think it's serious enough to see an eye doctor or not. I also found this website called InfantSEE where they offer free eye exams for babies under one year of age. Apparently it is nationwide in the states so you should check it out and maybe you can get your baby's eyes looked at just to be on the safe side. Here is more information about it and the web address.

"InfantSEEĀ® is a public health program designed to ensure that eye and vision care becomes an integral part of infant wellness care to improve a child's quality of life. Under this program, which will be available in Summer 2005, our member optometrists will provide a comprehensive infant eye assessment within the first year of life as a no cost public health service. For more information, please subscribe to our InfantSEEĀ® Newsletter."
