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.

    • Hopefully the Canada Geese were being culled - I'm being serious.  It's permitted
    • You might be interested in watching this video on you tube. It's from a wildlife gardener called Joel Ashton who regularly posts about his work in that area. Being interested in that kind of thing I follow him a lot. Anyway, a few days ago he posted about his plants being deliberately poisoned allegedly by his neighbour. He is going through the process of taking legal action and videoing this journey. There is another follow up which he posted a couple of days ago . It might be helpful to you. I think I should point out that the alleged culprit is not identified on the video so not breaking any privacy laws in sharing this.  
    • Around ten days ago there were around 6 Mallard ducklings and the same number of Canada Goose goslings. Today, not one to be seen 😥
