Hi - my daughter (now 2yrs) was born with a congenital ptosis (drooping eye lid) - it was quite noticeable when she was a baby, particularly when she became tired - appearing like one eye opened wider than the other, but now has almost completely resolved and I cannot notice it at all. The MCHN thought it resembled lazy eye and the paed ruled out lazy eye but thought that one eye could be working a little harder than the other and we were told that at worst she may one day need glasses to help the weaker eye - he wasn't sure though and referred us to a specialist. Emily was checked by two eye specialists who weren't concerned and felt there was no need for any follow-up. We were told by the eye specialists that as she grew and the muscles developed it would go, and that seems to be what has happened. The specialists we saw were based in Box Hill and I just tried to check the yellow pages to see the name of the business and I THINK it was Dr David Ehrlich.
