Couldn't tell if it was the autocorrect on iPhone or really there. Ds' left eye does look different in some way, a bit more cloudy. I am taking him to the doctor tmw as I have concerns. He doesn't look at me but can see light & dark. Im praying its just delayed vision but googled ( I Know!) & everything came up as eye cancer : (
He was born after induction at 38 weeks. I know ds should be seeing by now. Any other similar experiences please.

Mybabyseyes - try not to worry. It is definitely worth seeing an opthalmologist just to be on the safe sidee and it is amazing how they can test sight in tiny babies. I spoke to an opthalmologist who said they can accurately assess vision at 6 weeks. I have had the experience you have had twice, with two very different outcomes. PM me if you want to know more.

Referrals should be a week or so at that age, but depends a bit how switched on your GP is. If there is real concern you will be speeded through, so take comfort if things are slow.
