Well I had some professional photos done for my son and I've really noticed he has one large eye. Or one small eye. I don't know ?

I had noticed before. But these picture has really made it stand out?!

Anyone else had anything like this with their bubba. Did it even out? Will baby have vision problems.

Spoke to my Health visitor. She isn't concerned.

won't let me post photo due to being a new member **

How old is he? Everyone has one eye smaller than the other but I totally understand your worries. My DD has one ear much smaller than the other. She's 4 months now and it's starting to even out a bit but it's still noticeable.

Doesn't cause any issues and only really something a mum would notice!

I'd bring it up with your gp op, it doesn't hurt to have a medical professional opinion. How old is he?

I have one eye smaller or more closed than the other, very noticeable in photos and when I smile. I haven’t had vision problems. Only now in mid 40s wearing glasses for near sightednesss. That’s probably an age thing.

Interested in this thread?

I have this, and so do both of my sons - not overly noticeable, but can see it more in photographs. I was told its just called a 'lazy eye' and its nothing to worry about.

You dont say how old your son is, but if he has seen an optician in the past, they would have probably mentioned something if it was affecting his vision etc.

As other poster mentioned, might be worth checking out with your GP, just in case, and also to put your mind at rest.

I have this. I only notice it on photos because the image is see the opposite to the one I see in a mirror if you see what I mean? Most people don't have totally symmetrical faces. DD1 and DD3 have one eye that is very slightly more oval than the other but I think it makes them look really pretty. It can be genetic - does he look like anyone else in the family? An optician may be your best first port of call as they are better trained to spot any problems.

His just turn 4 months. He hasn't had it from birth tho! Yeah I'm gonna so speak to GP about it I've never noticed anyone in our family to have this either... Romans been a poorly bubba so every little thing I notice makes me so paranoid.

Also its only noticeable in photos.

Thanks everyone gonna get on the phone to GP
