Twice in the past week I have noticed odd eye movement in the left eye of my 18 mo DS. Once he looked up and behind when lying down on his back and his eye went off to the side. And then just now he was sitting in his high chair looking up and when he brought his eyes back to straight ahead it sort of got left behind for a fraction of a second.
He has missed his nap today and is pretty tired so I am wondering if that could have something to do with it. Other than being tired he is generally well in himself. Does anyone have any experience of this? I have heard a heart-wrenching story recently of a child who had flickering eyes which then proved to be a symptom of a much more serious illness so I am feeling a bit paranoid.
I plan to take my DS to the doctor but wonder if anyone has any comments to make in the meantime?
Thanks
