I dont want to alarm you but the eye doctor they took Colin to said it COULD have been nerve, but in his case it ended up being nothing.</P><P>I would suggest taking him to an eye doctor if it is worrying you, just to get it checked out!!!Thu, 24 Jul 2008 17:17:33 GMTSoon2bMrsPhttp://forums.canadianbride.com/Topic441683-15-1.aspxI have two different eyes. It's almost like a lazy eye, except instead of one of my pupils being lopsided, it's my eye lid. And, just like a PP, mine is also only noticeable when I'm tired, or when I'm faking a smile... LOL!<br><br>Wed, 23 Jul 2008 22:38:28 GMTEmilieJ87http://forums.canadianbride.com/Topic441683-15-1.aspxOoh, I just found a message board with a couple of Japanese girls saying they have one double eyelid and one not. It seems to be quite common, at least among Japanese women! They use this to make the single lid into a double:<br><br>[img]http://thumbnail.image.rakuten.co.jp/@0_mall/cosmebox/cabinet/item05/4903335695902.jpg[/img]Wed, 23 Jul 2008 19:41:05 GMTZimhttp://forums.canadianbride.com/Topic441683-15-1.aspxI'm not sure about your son, I think he'll likely grow out of it. But I have one eye that's slightly larger than the other, not too noticeable except in some pics, and I was never teased.Wed, 23 Jul 2008 19:35:43 GMTVicLeehttp://forums.canadianbride.com/Topic441683-15-1.aspxThis might help you to picture it:<br><br>[img]http://www.tunisiadaily.com/answers/images/race-eyes.jpg[/img]<br><br>Usually asian eyes don't have a fold in the eyelid:<br><br>[img]http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/7479/eye21sc.gif[/img]<br><br>Whereas caucasian eyes do:<br><br>[img]http://images.inmagine.com/img/photodisc/pdrb101/pdrb101022.jpg[/img]Wed, 23 Jul 2008 19:20:47 GMTZimhttp://forums.canadianbride.com/Topic441683-15-1.aspxI totally can't picture this and so I don't really understand. Can you post a picture? <br><br>I'm guessing if it's something you're really concerned about (yes, kids are pretty horrible to each other, but tolerance of differences seems to be much more common now than it was when I was little), there might be a surgical solution before your lo goes to school. Talk to your doctor. <br><br>MelissaWed, 23 Jul 2008 18:08:00 GMTdogmelissahttp://forums.canadianbride.com/Topic441683-15-1.aspxI lived in Japan for eight years, and taught high school for two years. The mixed kids I met or taught always had eyes that "matched". Maybe your baby will grow out of it? Or maybe it's the genetic version of a lazy eye? If you're worried, it might be a nice idea to ask a doctor. Canada seems like the kind of place where doctors might know a lot about mixed kids.<br><br>I tried looking around the internet in Japanese for information on parents who have experienced this, but so far I haven't found anything. My kids (whenever I get around to having them!!) will be mixed Asian and Caucasian too, so I'm interested in the answer to this question!<br><br>Cheer up!! I'm sure your baby is just GORGEOUS!! :)Wed, 23 Jul 2008 01:04:33 GMTZimhttp://forums.canadianbride.com/Topic441683-15-1.aspxOne of my eyes is a little bit bigger than the other but honestly you can't really tell unless I'm tired (left eye). </P><P>Here's a picture. </P><P><IMG src="http://forums.canadianbride.com/Uploads/Images/0eba504b-8408-4bc5-8f07-6c8b.jpg"></P><P>I really don't think anyone else can notice.

For example...picture someone with one eye from a caucasion, and one eye from an asian.
