Before you ascribe this to something extremely serious have his pediatrician refer her to a pediatric ophthalmologist.

Please have the doctor's check him thoroughly.This is how our daughter's brain tumor  first showed. She had an operation to remove it 10 years ago. She is feeling fine. Please don't let your family ignore this symptom even though it scares them. It scared us too. It is scary but can be treated.
