What Causes Abnormal Vision View In A 6 Year Old Child?
Question: Hello, my son is 6 yrs. old and is complaining about his eyes making things look bigger and smaller really quickly and it's scaring him. This happened last year when he had a high fever; however right now he doesn't have a fever. He isn't taking any medication for anything right now. He is perfectly healthy. It only happens at night time after he's gone to bed. What is happening to him? Is he in the preliminary phases of a seizure?
Brief Answer:
Hard to speculate. A step by step approach suggested.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone through your query and understand your concerns. I think that rather than jumping to conclusions or speculating, we should proceed step by step. The first step would be to get his vision tested. Vitamin A deficiency can lead to defect in night vision. The next step would be to get a neurological examination done. I am quite sure that something conclusive would come out of these examinations. We can proceed further based on those findings.
Regards
