Yeah - okay - I don't like to exaggerate and "eyes as big as golf balls" was a bit of an exaggeration - but it really was scary - it was more like the entire eye lids got red and bloated and started to cover his eyes - making him look disfigured - and on the inside - the eyes looked like they could be little golf balls in there - expanding . Really scary. So glad it went away after a good's night sleep -because seriously -any mother would freak out when their kid's eyes look like that. I didn't grow up - so had NO idea pollen and mould could do that - but they can!!
