ANNA NICOLE SMITH - BIRKHEAD: 'DRUGS DIDN'T MAKE BABY DANNIELYNN CROSS-EYED'

BIRKHEAD: 'DRUGS DIDN'T MAKE BABY DANNIELYNN CROSS-EYED'

LATEST: The father of ANNA NICOLE SMITH's baby daughter has hit back at reports connecting the tot's eye disorder to medications her late mother may have taken while she was pregnant. Baby Dannielynn has been forced to wear an eyepatch and take medication to correct strabismus, which is slowly turning her cross-eyed. But her father, Larry Birkhead, insists tabloid reports linking the disorder to Smith's drug use are far-fetched. In an exclusive interview with U.S. news show Entertainment Tonight, which will air on Monday (14Jan08), Birkhead says, "All of the opinions that I had (from doctors), every one of them said that it's very, very unlikely, because no one knows 100 per cent what causes this. "I point-blank ask every single doctor, 'Could any medications that Anna was on have caused this?' and they said that it's more likely that a genetic reason could have caused it."
