Capilary Haemangio
Hello Doctor
My daughter ages 3 months has got swelling in her left eyelid . Doctor has confirmed it capilary haemangio. She is prescribed with Timolol 0.5% eye drop to apply gently on eyelid surface. I have been using it for last 2 month but dont see much improvement. A doctor in my area advised to use "Timolol Gel" instead of drop. Please suggest.. I am uploading my daughter pic and prescribed drop.
Thank you

Hello
Hemangioma usually increase in first year and then starts regressing
Topical timolol is an option
In your child,it seems to induce mechanical ptosis ....if visual axis is obstructed then it can cause amblyopia....
I would recommend you to use timolol ointment as advised and keep in touch with your ophthalmologist and keep evaluating visual axis
