Depends: If unilateral, the ;poorly sighted eye will start to drift - usually inwards. If both eyes, sometimes the eyes are obviously deformed, small or discolored but if a deeper loss, the infant will not respond in the usual way to mother's face, will not reach for things, simply will not seem to use the eyes, will not react to turning on the light and will only react to other senses like hearing.
