My daughter s teacher reported today that my daughter has been crossing her eyes occasionally. (My daughter is 20 months old.) She says she appears to be dazed out when this is occurring. When she calls my daughter s name or snaps her fingers, my daughter returns to normal. I ve seen my daughter crossing her eyes, but only when she s goofing around and making funny faces. Is this something I need to see a doctor about?
Yes you to need to consult an ophthalmologist right away. Any eye problems in child less than 2 years age could be a sign of big disease of future. You need an urgent consultation. This could be early signs of squint, retinoblastoma or even blindness. In the meantime try to stimulate the child to look in different directions using a colorful toy.
