eyes rolling

My 15month DS has been pausing, squinting and then rolling his eyes up this past week. I thought it might be because he had a headache as he has had D and V for a week. However, he is over that now but he did this 4 times in the bath tonight. Any ideas??

Is it just one eye that rolls or both? If it's both do they roll at the same time and in the same direction? It sounds like lazy eye, I would take him to the GP and ask for a referral to a specialist. The sooner it's sorted out the better the outcome Smile

Both eyes but he puts hand to eye when it happens. He hasn't done it all today.

Thank you for link quite interesting but way more severe than what DS does, he seems to only do it when he is really tired but it really only lasts seconds and he still seems to be fully aware and not at all distressed. He did earlier but he was late going to bed. I'm going to see how he goes and if it happens when I know he's not tired then will get him checked out.
