Watch for
- Eyes that cross or one eye that turns in or out or up or down
- One eye that seems different in some ways such as a larger or smaller pupil
- Eyes that look crusty, swollen, bloodshot or red-rimmed
- Any discharge, bleeding or red bumps on the eyelids
- A pupil that shows a white rather than a red reflection in a colour photograph
