My DS had this in both eyes. One of his eyes cleared itself up by about 12 months, the other still weeps. He needs to have the operation, and I am freaking out!

We've seen the opthamologist about it, and he says there is not that much that can be done- either they grow out of it, or they don't. But I have done some research on it, and there are a lot of people who suggest doing massage on the area- only works for babies as young as yours, not toddlers like mine. If you google it, there are some good descriptions on how to do it. I think I even recall seeing a youtube video on the right technique.

I hope your LO's clears up. I am not looking forward to the procedure. Evidently the operation is no big deal in itself, but they have to be under a general for it, which is tough for little ones.

But to re-assure you, they don't take any action on it until well after they are one, and the vast majority clear up by then.
