What Causes Eye Problems In 9 Year Old?
My nine year old son recently started doing strange things with his eyes. It began about 3 weeks ago. We noticed he was opening his eyes really wide( when he was watching TV). It has progressed. He now does this more frequently. I see him stretch his eyes wide open and gaze off to one side. While playing with toys tonight it was as though his eyes were darting all over the place. He doesn't notice that he is doing this. He sometimes complains that his eyes are sticky? He recently started taking Alvesco 100mcg/dose for asthma.

Hello
Welcome to Health care Magic.
I reviewed your history.
These symptoms can be because of uncorrected refractive error and this requires examination by ophthalmologist or by a optometrist.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
