Dannielynn is afflicted with an eye condition she can't just outgrow.

In yesterday's Celebrity Crib Notes, we told you about Dannielynn possibly needing eye surgery for stabismus, which is the medical term for being "cross-eyed." Apparently this condition affects 5% of children and should be treated as soon as possible.

According to both the American Optometric Association and American Ophthalmological Association, all children should have their first eye exam around nine months of age. However, if an extreme or constant eye turn is noticed, the baby should be examined before nine months. Children do not outgrow strabismus.

Dannielynn is reportedly wearing an eye patch, which is a common treatment for strabismus. Eye doctors often institute patching to stimulate the "lazy eye. Eyeglasses may be prescribed to eliminate the eye turn. Surgery is often a last resort for parents of children afflicted with strabismus. Various scientific studies report success rates for eye muscle surgeries ranging from 30% to 80%. In the majority of cases, multiple surgeries must be performed before good cosmetic alignment is achieved. For further information, visit www.strabismus.org.

We certainly hope Dannielynn's treatment is successful. If you have a child with strabismus, do you have any advice for Larry Birkhead? Comment below.
