Girl given shocking diagnosis after 'eye turned the wrong way round'

A mum has recalled the shock she experienced after finding out a tumour 'the size of an adult fist' was discovered behind her daughter's eye.

Skye Brierley, from Blackpool, woke up one morning and found that her 'left eye turned the wrong way around'. Mother Ruth immediately rushed Skye to an optician, however, they were unable to diagnose the problem and suspected it wasn't urgent, Lancs Live reports.

Ruth, 47, said: "I knew something wasn’t right. We came home and did Christmas, but within two hours of her opening her presents she was fast asleep on the sofa. We gave her some chocolate and she perked up a bit, so we thought she might be diabetic."
