Re: Smaller Eye on Afftected Side - Anyone Experienced This?

[Guest guest]

Does your daughter have torticollis? Torticollis can also cause the smaller

eye on the affected side as it pulls on the muscles of the face. While the

band can help to correct the smaller eye, if the underlying cause is

torticollis and the torticollis goes untreated you won't see much

improvement. Check with your dr. to see if there is a tort diagnosis.

Smaller Eye on Afftected Side - Anyone Experienced This?

The clinician at Cranial Tech mentioned at my daughter's casting (last

week) that she sees alot of cases where the eye on the affected side

is smaller.... possibly due to the tissues being pulled or stretched

from the plagio or brachy on the back of the affected side of the

head. My daughter's left eye is smaller and higher set than her right

eye. I'm wondering if the DocBand would correct the head and

eventually the eye OR if she was just born this way. Has anyone

experienced this? Thanks!

Yes my son Liam has this. We noticed it a long time ago but just figured it was an assymetry thing but the pt said the same thing. I assume it will be corrected with the band as the skin will not be as taught anymore due to a more symmetrical head shape.sisterofpie <sisterofpie@...> wrote: The clinician at Cranial Tech mentioned at my daughter's casting (last week) that she sees alot of cases where the eye on the affected side is smaller.... possibly due to the tissues being pulled or

Yes - my daughter has the exact same problem... smaller left eye. The pediatrician said it will eventually correct itself and is a side effect of Plagio, for some children. Your not alone! =o)

My son ph (now 20 months) also had this problem. His pediatrician recommended that he see a pediatric eye doctor to make sure this was not affecting his vision. Luckily he received a clean bill of health. Apparently it is a pretty common problem with plagio. You may want to take your daughter to an eye doctor just to have her eyes checked out. - Ann Thyen <michelle_thyen@...> wrote: Yes my son Liam has this.

My daughter's PT evaluated her yesterday and said that she doesn't

have torticollis.... and I haven't noticed her having trouble moving

her head side to side. I guess if you I think about it, it makes

since that plagio and/or brachy could cause one eye to appear larger

since the back of their head is either pushed in or their head is

coney.... maybe this causes the tissues around the eye to be pulled

or stretched??? - (Not sure)

I really hope DocBand will help her left eye. Her left side of her

face is slightly higher than her right side and her left eye is

smaller.

Thanks!

Thanks . Please keep me posted about Liam's progress and

the assemmetry thing. I'd really like to hear that his band

corrected it for him..... Good luck! Chris

Hi,

My dd, Ellie, Has severe Brachy and also has one eye that is smaller

and not symmetrical to the other. We have been in the DOC band for

5 weeks now and I notice a significant difference in her eyes (and

cheeks). Her eyes have definitely evened out and I anticipate that

they will continue to do so. The variance in her eyes was very

obvious at the start of banding and is now only noticeable when yuo

look carefully. You can probably see it in her photos--under elliej.

Good luck!

Thanks - one more question for you: did your Ellie have

tight neck muscles or torticollis? If so, did you dilligently

complete the stretching exercises (5X a day, a few sets of each of

the 4 exercises)? I ask because, of course I'm intending to follow

these instructions, but I work and I don't think my day care

provider will do these stretches for her in my absence(of course I

will do everything I can to make sure she gets these stretches in

while she's home).... and I'm afraid that she won't get the benefit

of the corrections in her smaller eye (and cheek - basically the

left side of her face)

Thanks again,

Chris

Mom to , 4 mo - banded today and CRYING in her crib right

Hi

Ellie did not have Tort, just a preference toward one side so we did

not have to do PT. The band itself is what has helped her symmetry.

Good Luck!
