Hi
I'm not too sure if I'm being paranoid or not. My toddlers eyes look slightly yellow to me, is this normal? I have taken her to the opticians who have said her eyes look healthy but she does need glasses as she has an astigmatism. Should I take her to the GP regarding the colour or am I being overly anxious and would the optician have picked up if there was an issue. TIA

She is also really sensitive to light, which is why we originally took her to see the optician the optician couldn't explain why.

You can ask gp to refer for paediatric opthamology assessment at local hosp if you worried

My DC’s eyes look exactly like your DC’s and I’ve never been told they look yellow (both DC are under a paediatrician for an auto immune disease anyway, but we’ve never had any one mention that their eyes are anything but normal).

Thank you for the reassurance, I can stop worrying about them now. 🥰
