The "eyes" have it

Today was Megan's every 3 month eye check up and Kellie's 1st exam.

At Meg's last exam they did a quick look at Kel, has some concerns and wanted to see her back for a more in depth look.

Kellie is farsighted, but her farsightedness is pretty equal in both eyes. So we shouldn't have issues with "lazy eye" (btw- I don't like that term, it is what they call what Megan has, but it doesn't even being to describe it and makes it sound like it's her fault- anyway off my soapbox). Kel doesn't have to go back for 3 years! YEAH! Now I just have to remember to make the appt in 3 yrs!

Megan's eyes are about the same as last time, which is ok, not great but ok. She made great progress before, but we knew things would likely slow down. We admitted to the Dr that we struggle with remembering to make her wear her patch. So, the Dr asked Megan to help us remember (yeah right, she loves that we forget!)and kind of scolded us through that, but we haven't been good about it lately, so we deserved it! We've done well with her blurring drop though.

Hopefully if we are more diligent with the patching we will see more improvement next time.

In July, Meg goes back again and they will give us a new prescription for her glasses.

Kev, I, and the Ophthalmoligst are still amazed at how much progress she has made from the little girl who could barely see anything out of that left eye even with glasses to the girl who can see planes in the sky!
