Do you mean that the infant eyes are upward, toward the ceiling? Can the infant look straight or left/right at all?



And how old is the "infant"? She 22 months old?

Does she complain of headache or any other symptoms?

She doesn't talk at all, at 22 months of age?
How long are her eyes "rolled back" - for a few seconds or longer? And when they aren't, does she appear to move her eyes normally?

no- she does not talk. eyes move normally, but there is the brief few seconds when they roll upward into her lids.

I plan on taking her in to the pediatrician on the following Monday. Yes, the pediatrician is well aware that she is not speaking, and has made recommendations to a program to use to have someone come to my home and help. Would the eye reaction have anything to do with her lack of speech?? She plays, laughs, runs, puts blocks together and take them apart with no problems. I will take her in to be seen though.
