myfunnybunch Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 "Things look really far away," or "Things look really tiny all of a sudden." He says it's not all the time, but it is happening more frequently. This has been going on for...not sure exactly, but longer than 2 weeks, anyway. Anyone here have a child who's had a similar experience? Should I take him to the pediatrician? The eye doctor? Actually, even as I type, I think I'll call his eye doctor tomorrow. But I am still curious whether anyone here has had a child with this kind of vision problem. Cat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
courtney.byrum Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 I'd probably take him to an eye doctor - could be that he has an astigmatism that is affecting his vision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMW Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 Reminds me when my daughter said that life looked fuzzy and not like it does in the picture books... She happened to say this at the very time a large beam of light was passing through the room and lots of dust was seem flickering in the room, so I shrugged it off. Found out later that she definitely needed glasses. Hope all goes well for your little one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celia Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 I'd take him to an optometrist first, and if all appears normal, even consider a neurologist. Sudden changes in vision can be symptoms of a more serious problem. Not trying to be scary here, it could also be something like a migraine without the headache. It does warrant looking into carefully though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lailasmum Posted November 28, 2011 Share Posted November 28, 2011 I had this as a child when I had migraines. Things all looked really small and far away like looking through the wrong end of a telescope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you! Cat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
