Astins right eye is really squinty particularly with bright lights.

The best way to describe it is what we call - the popeye eye (arrr me hearty!)...

I have taken him to docs/pead who said there is nothing wrong and its just him but i am getting alot of comments esp from plunket so he is booked into the optomitrist....
Has anyone else babies had the "popeye eye"???

I have it! Lol. Every single female in my family has it, and Chloe seems to lean that way too. All the girls need glasses though, so maybe it has something to do with that.

Chloe (4 years) and Oliver (3 years).

I have it, and had corrective surgery at 6 and it didn't do anything. Josh has one and is seeing a specialist privately for it.

I was a puree feeder, forward facing, cot sleeping, pram pushing kind of Mum... and my kids survived!
