Re: Questions about new helmet...

[Guest guest]

Hi Adrienne,

My son just got his helmet a week ago, and the same thing is happening (altho on

his left). When the helmet was fitted, we asked the question, but they said it

was ok, it is just where the skin was catching. However we are are not happy

about it as it looks to be getting worse. We are back there tomorrow to get the

helmet refitted, so will know more then. I'll let you know if they tell us

anything that may be of interest. Thanks, Charlotte

right eye look sleepy and kind of pushing it down. The right side is where the

flat spot is in the back and so his forehead protrudes on the right in front. Is

this common or should I be concerned? I can't take any chances with his eyes!!

hi adrienne!

My sons eye did the exact same thing on the exact same side! I was terrified and

felt so bad! I didnt really notice it until he looked UP at me one day- and i

noticed it was 'sqinting'.

i immediately got on this group and started asking questions about the eye

and people didnt have a whole lot to say! so i made sure i asked the ortho about

it and they said that it was just because it was touching the forhead on that

side and there was nothing to worry about.

the good news is, that its been almost 3 months and his forhead is normal now

(YAY!!) its even and guess what? his eye doesnt do the squinty thing anymore! so

that is def. a breath of fresh air becasue i love his beautiful eyes and like

you, was worried they would permenatly stay that way.

good luck! and make sure you ask your ortho just to make sure
