The Eyes have it



Last Friday we went to the pediatric opthalmologist. We were concerned peanut had a lazy eye. In some of her pictures it looks like one eye doesn't focus like the others. The doctor looked at her and said she was just fine. They shined this light in her eyes and looked at the reflection. They then dilated her eyes and did it again. The doctor tried to explain to me what they were looking at, but I didn't really understand.

He also looked inside her pubil with this super bright light. It looked like something out of a science fiction magazine. His assistant brought him this case that looked like a weapons case. It contained a super bright light that attached to his forhead making him look like a miner or a mad scientist. He turned it on, and we tilted the baby back. We pinned her down while he pulled open her eyelids so he could stare deep into her soul....

and determined she is slightly far sighted, which will correct itself with time.

but no lazy eye. No patches. HURRAY.
