Dannielynn's Eye Troubles Suspected To Be Genetic

NEW YORK (CBS) ― The adorable Dannielynn Birkhead is now wearing a patch to correct her eye condition, otherwise known as being "crossed eyed."

"She has strabismus, which is a turning in of one of her eyes, and it's something that we've been looking out for for a while," her father Larry Birkhead told Entertainment Tonight's Mark Steines. "I've been taking her to the doctors and ... Anna had taken Dannielynn to the doctor [in the Bahamas] to see about it when she was just a few months old."

Birkhead told The Insider that the doctors said that the condition is most likely genetic and not caused from Anna Nicole's medications.

If her eye doesn't get stronger by wearing an eye patch, then the next resort will have to be surgery.
