Hi all,


My son, who will be 5 next week keeps rolling his eyes - they sort of go off to the side and it looks really disturbing. He says that if he doesn't do it then his eyes hurt. He's not doing it as much when he's concentrating, and he's only starting doing it today, but he's doing it all the time and its really worrying me.

I'll take him to either the docs or the opticians this week but I just wondered if anyone has experienced this before? I'm getting myself into a complete panic about it!


ps, I know I can't get a medical opinion from here, but looking for a bit of reassurance!


thank you

Could it be a twitch? My son had a series of twitches from that age.

Some didn't last for longer than a few weeks, others for months. One was eye related - he made his eyes go bigger and looked to the side.

No solution other than they pass in time and tend to pass quicker if ignored as much as possible.

Good luck

Definitely take him to GP or optician. Both can refer to ophthalmogist. Both of my boys has problems around this age. One had exophoria (both eyes), the other a slight squint. Exophoria treated with eye exercise, the other has grown out of it. Nothing to worry about but worth checking out.

    • I booked Connor to clean all my external windows plus two internal skylights and he did a great job. Polite, reliable, affordable and thorough, I would definitely recommend him. If you live in the Peckham, Dulwich area, give him a call 07514043068
    • We recently had a new bathroom and whole new flooring laid throughout our Victorian lower ground property. Lukas and his team ripped out the old and fitted everything with precision.   Lukas communicated with us along the process and found root causes of some other damp problems we had noticed but could never get to the bottom of! No job was too big or small. His team arrived promptly everyday and were so professional and polite, even tidying and cleaning up when they had finished.   We will definitely use this company again gon the future as we have had many experiences with shoddy builders in the past! Cant recommend them enough. Everything was completed on time AND for a reasonable price.    info@landl-build.com     https://www.houzz.co.uk/professionals/design-and-build/landl-building-and-maintenance-pfvwgb-pf~631498617
