- by jjm_barkerHi Moms, My gorgeous little 7 month old son was recently diagnosed with Nystagmus. He has benign congenital horizontal motor nystagmus. The opthamologist said he's slightly long sighted at this point but other than that it's difficult to know what will happen in the future. He said there's nothing we can do other than remain […]

- by Suzy_MacHello all! I have been wearing Accuvue Oaysis for Astigmatism (supposedly with "hydraclear", whatever that is, to keep the eyes moist). Well, my eyes are still really dry when I have them on. Argh! Anyone have contact lenses they like for astigmatism? Could you include (if you know it offhand) the price? I can only […]
- by Kristin_L5Hi ladies! So, our almost 4 year old contracted pink eye at preschool. On top of that he has tonsillitis and an ear infection. Both are being treated, but my real concern is the pink eye and the fact that we also have a 4 month old baby in the house. Has anyone dealt with […]

- by Lisa_W4Several days ago a bump appeared on my daughter's lower eyelid. After it didn't go down, I did some research on WebMD. It looks like it's a chalzion (sp?). It's like a stye, but is most commonly caused by things like sleeping in eye makeup. She had played with makeup the day before it popped […]

- by Rachel_YMy almost 4 year old has pink eye as well as a cold. We got antibiotic eye drops from the doctor today so hopefully he won't be contagious much longer. I wanted to see if anyone had any ideas for cleaning his favorite stuffed bunny (the one he needs to sleep). I'm not sure it […]

- by TripleSweetMy one year old very suddenly developed red patches under both of her eyes yesterday. Today it has spread all the way around her eyes. The eyes themselves are not red, they are white. It's the skin of the eyelids that is red. It doesn't look inflamed, there's no puffiness. Also, today her cheeks seem […]
- by duckpants2003My 8 month old daughter has different size pupils. I noticed it about a week ago. I called the Dr and the nurse said unless she has symptoms of head trauma not to worry(which she didn't). I am still worried and i thought i might see if anyone might have experience this. I don't know […]

- by knandersonI have to give my almost 2 year old eye drops 4 times a day for an eye infection, however, this is proving very difficult. Of course, she hates it and shuts her eyes very tightly so even when I can get them open, I'm not sure how much of the medication is actually getting […]

- by lambjonejaHi, my 18month old son needs to have eye surgery for his crossed eyes. The doctor said (after we patched for about 6 months) that it is not a severe case. Only one eye goes in at a time (vs. both eyes going inward at the same time) once in a while. She said the […]
