Re: squished eye from helmet question

[Guest guest]

My daughter's eye would get squished too and it would get so bad I would freak

out a little. It was always be the worst after she slept all night. Sometimes I

would take the band off and it didn't seem to go back to normal all the way. But

she graduated in November and her eye is just fine! Hope that assures you some!

> my son has had his band for about 10 weeks. It has always fit pretty well and

no major problems other than a little bit of that squished eye thing from the

forehead bossed area. It sounds like that is pretty common, and the ortho did

adjust it a hair to improve it, but said it wouldn't correct as well if she let

up the pressure there so we felt fine leaving it be, and my son did not seem to

mind or bother his vision. well, it seems crazy but I swear that eye apears

smaller to me now with the band off, I have left it off for a few days now and

it seems better but still noticable to me, but I am wondering if its really

possible?? and if anyone else has experienced this at all?? did it get better?

he is just about done with the helmet and I wanted to leave it on a bit longer

but I am really reluctant due to this.

thanks so much for the reply . I am glad no one else has noted a lasting problem either. My sons eye does seem better after the helmet off a while. From: natalie <nat.jo.c@...>Subject: Re: squished eye from helmet questionPlagiocephaly Date: Sunday, February 14, 2010, 8:22 AM
