Why is my son always looking at TV/White Board using the right side of his eye

by ATES, Jul 22, 2008 01:21AM

My 10 year old son is wearing spectable for about a year at 125 degree for each eye.
Recently I noticed that while he was having his eye checked, he tends to tilt his head to the right and uses the corner of both eyes (towards the right) to look at the screen aheah of him.
I also noticed he did that when he watches TV or during class, he tends to use the corner of both eyes (towards the right) to look at what was wtitten on the board.

Eye specialist checked his eyes and said he is normal> Is this due to some eye muscle or bad eye posture.
Please help me

Dear ATES,

I would recommend that you show the doctor what your son does and have him see a pediatric eyeMD.
