eye tests

racechick23 by racechick23 Speaking(October 2008) (rank 233rd)

I had my 6 month eye check yesterday and i thought it might be a good idea to have damiens eyes tested.  everything looks fine and the optometrist gave me some tips to help damiens eyes strengthen and also what to look out for.  at 6 months they only

test behind the eye to see if its reflecting right. 

heres some tips from Luabman & Pank optometrists to help your babies visual skills try

* hanging a mobile above cots

* play hand games and peek a boo

* use building blocks and simple puzzles

* slowly move objects in front of them and watch them follow them and try and reach for them (if at that age)

and heres some things to look out for

* a lazy eye (turning in, out, up or down)

* blinking, squinting or watery eyes

* rubbing eyes alot and they're  not sleepy

* red eyes or eyelids

* a tendency to bump into things more then normal or on one side only

* roving or jiggling eyes

* a lack of interest in faces and toys

 also remember to protect bubs eyes when outside.  hope this helps.

feel free to add any other tips.
