How do you mean 'different', YCBS? Different colours from each other, or sizes?

Thanks - One looks transparent and the other opaque.... they aren't different sizes.

I found this i hope it helps.
take a look
If you think there is a problem see your GP.Its better to get it checked than to worry about it.

Thanks mommy6 - I'll take him to the Drs to get it checked. It doesn't always happen - in fact, it's only happened once or twice, but it's always the same eye, so I think it's worth getting it checked.

thanks

I've just noticed something similar with a photo of DD on holiday. One pupil is red and the other is black. Maybe I should get her checked out too. Although, all of the other photos of her are fine, so maybe not. What do you think?

Sorry for hijack.

SoupDragon · 19/07/2008 11:44

I think red/black can be down to the angle - the flash has caught one eye and not the other.

It is always worth getting these things checked though.

The photos in that link are all taken diagnostically with the child looking directly at the camera I think. Maybe try taking one like this of your DD?

LilRedWhiskGers · 19/07/2008 12:36

I've taken some straight on in a darkened room and both show red, so I'm sure it was just the angle of the previous photo.

The corneal reflex is not central on one eye, but again, that could just be my photographioc skills.

Thanks.

youcannotbeserious · 19/07/2008 15:05

Yeah, I've tried the same and the photos come out fine....

I'm sure there is unlikely to be a problem, but given his age, I'm going to check it out next time....

I do think if you're at all worried you should see an optician (or GP? Don't know).

don't you have to get a referral to an eye-specialist either through an optician or a gp?
I know that with my boys we first went to the optician for eyetests and they send a letter to the gp and they then referred us onto the Ophtalmologist ( I think...that is what they are called)

SqueakyPop · 19/07/2008 15:38

The point where light reflects should be the same on both eyes. The shape of the eyes may be different in a baby due to the shape of the eyelids.

If the light does not reflect from the same points, then see your GP. It is actually one of the things they check on the development checks.
