my 8 month old son has been fit and healthy since birth, he learned to focus his eyes from being one day old and has always seemed to have perfect eyesight which i fully expected as everyone in both sides of his family does...anyway he had a fall into a metal pole last week. it bruised above his left eye but after about a minute of crying he was back to his normal self, so i didnt think it was anything serious, then when he was at my parents 2 days after this incident, he fell from the sofa onto a carpeted concrete floor, we took him to a&e to be checked out, tho no visable injury was present, and they said he was fine and sent him home. the following day he wakes up with the most terrible squint in his left eye, basically his left eye is looking at his nose and will not move at all from this position. too him straight back to a&e who said to see gp following day, did this and they sent us to ophthalmologist straight away, they were baffled and he was looked at by at least 5 of them before being put on childrens ward overnight and having a ct scan the following day which showed nothing abnormal...then went back to ophthalmologist who seemed to disbelieve me that this has come on a sudden as i had said and asked to bring pictures of my son before the squint to the next appointment which he made for 2 months later!! he said it would have been caused by bad eyesight and they will arrange for him to wear patches/glasses etc in time to come...but i think he is wrong as he always seemed to have really good eyesight and surely the squint would have taken some time to develop, not just literally appeared overnight? it has been 5 days now since the squint appeared and his eye has not moved from the corner since! im so worried that his eyesight is deteriorating all the time he is left with this squint as i know it does...please can anyone offer any advise at all on this??
