My baby is born premature we had eye test done and reports were normal. since past few days her right eye is infected and Dr has suggested with eye drop, but I can see that her left eye is normal and her right eye is suppressed (seems smaller compared to left one). I am quiet worried about it. Will her eyes be back to normal. kindly advise.
