my little girl is 21/2 and her left eye has started turning in apparently its called a left eye eciopia (think thats right) we are waiting for a good old nhs appointment just wondered has anybody experienced something similar she wasnt born with it which is upsetting as it was unexpected xx

my daughter had a turn in her eye when she was little too,it was something on her dads side of the family,it appeared when she was just over one it was checked and kept an eye on,luckily she grew out of it,no further problems,it righted itself,his sisters kids on the other hand was more severe,and the kids needed glasses,but none-the-less all grew into happy confident kids,please dont worry!!

My daughter has had a turn in her eye since she was 6 weeks old, only when she is really tired do I notice it and shes now 18, we took her to the hospital regualry and she used to wear a patch over her good eye, to try and see if the muscles could strengthen, it always did the trick, but once the eye patch was off - it reverted to going inwards again. we did it for years but unfortunaltely there is nothing that can be done for her, they think the brain will only supply the signals to one eye, she isnt unduling bothered about it, apart from the fact that she used to suffer quite a bit of double vision, and when the patches were on for the first few days she was unable to see properly, until the muscles 'kicked in'.
