Many babies look cross-eyed now and then. Usually this is caused by muscles that are temporarily out of balance. Also, the wide skin area that babies have across the nose can make the eyes look crossed when in fact they are not. If your child is crossing his eyes past three months of life, please bring it to our attention. Also, if you notice that the photograph-induced “red eye” in family pictures is not the same in both eyes please bring the picture and your baby to the office for an eye check.
