Specializes in Pediatrics

See eye doctor: Please see an eye doctor. I don’t know how old you are or any other history for you. These facts would be important to know to answer this question better. There are both serious and common/not serious possible causes for this. It is most important that you see someone in person to get a complete history and complete exam.
