i took my daughter to the opticians today because she said that when she reads her eyes go blury OMG my daughter has nystagmus i felt so guilty that i didnt know the optician said i wouldnt have known about it but as soon as she told me what to look at i saw omg i was well upset :-( Rosex

oh babe don't beat yourself up about it...plsssssssxx

Rosie my cousin is an optician if you need any advice i will ask her , please let me know Lilxx

How on earth would you have known !!! I still don't know what that is so there you go I am a bad mum too !!!!!!!!! xx

Just googled this, I don't think you should beat yourself up that you didn't spot the problem, hope now it is diagnosed your daughter can be helped. Liz

im going to have a good read up on the net tomorrow about it Lil the optician i saw was very good she noticed it as soon has she started the test Rosex

its wobbly eyes muffy there is nothing that can be done , they have referred her to the hospital just to make sure everything is ok and she has got to wear glasses (not because of the nystagmus) but because her eyes need glasses so she picked some mauve little miss naughty ones bless her Rosex

rosie my oh didnt know he couldnt see properly until he was seventeen and they said he would have been like it since he was a child! not one person, family, school etc., had ever noticed!! he said the first time he could see properly it scared the living daylights out of him - he had spent all those years in a blur!!!!!

I have had to wear specs since I was 11, couldn't see the board well at school. There weren't the lovely frames then - had awful old National Health ones, I hated them.

Rosie you are a good Mum very caring, i lwould like u to be my Mum, such a caring person Lixx

PP when i googled it i was a bit scared but the optician said its nothing to worry about but i can really notice it on her now really weired Rosex

Thanks Clare Carol and PP my eldest son has been wearing specs since he was 3 but my daughter has only been saying about it for a week so i made a appoinment straight away , the optician said she has probably had it a while but just got used to it and now its starting to bother her . hopefully i should have the hospital oppointment through within about a month Rosex Ps you have all made me feel heaps better :-)

Lil that would be a miracle hun lol Rosex

Nudging cause my friend wants to see Rosex

Hi Rosie yes it would im older LOL Lilxx

Lilly pops xxxxxxxxx Rosex

Rose Honest you are a good mum, at least you took her to an optician, some won't even bother! My son goes regular, cause if my problem had been picked when I was youger I wouldn't be wearing glasses now, it could have been contacts or even lazer instead, but my sight can not be rectified now. So you have done right, good on you Kim

thanks kim (edited coz i read post wrong :-) ) xxxxxx Rosex
