My son was three when we noticed he was blinking alot, and he would cover one eye when he was watching TV. He wouldn't cooperate well enough with your family eye doctor....so we were referred on to a pediatric opthamolagist in SF. We see Dr. West at Opthamolagy LTD on 69th and Cliff. My son has severely near sighted in one eye, and it has turned lazy. He wears glasses now, and we patch his good eye to force him to use his lazy one. We knew the next morning that the glasses were helping because he asked for them as soon as he woke up. He hates wearing the patch... but things are improving, and we pray by next year he won't need it anymore.

Thanks for your comment. I will definately take her in. I guess its better safe than sorry. hopefully its nothing and she is just being silly! :)
Dr. Gulbranson is wonderful! I have taken a 2 year old there and she is great with little ones! I highly recommend her! :)

I was wondering if anyone has any thoughts or help for me. I have a 1 year old little girl. she just recently since easter has started blinking all the time and acts like she is squinting sometimes. she rubs her eyes sometimes too but not much. people comment to me all the time about it and ask me what she is doing. has any one else had their kids do this? its making me worried something is wrong with her eyes but how would you know when she is so little? maybe its just a faze and she is experiementing with her eyes and trying to wink or something? i dont know, its starting to worry me though. has anyone else taken a 1 year old in for an eye exam? i was thinking of going to dr gulbranson too just because i went to grade school with her :)
i thought that would be fun to see her again but any suggestions or comments on others experience with kids doing weird things with their eyes would be appreciated!! Thanks!
