Specializes in Pediatrics

Have eyes examined: Hard to say without seeing your eyes and checking your vision. Please have your eyes examined by your doctor and/or an eye specialist. They can do a proper exam and get more history about this and diagnose you properly and provide any treatment needed. You don't want to ignore a visual problem...your eyes are important. Feel better!
