First Eye Appointment




The boys had their first eye appointment thursday. Boy, that was a long morning. $70.00 and 3 hours later, we were done. Camden's vision was great. He has had a little spot at 6 o'clock on his left eye that his doctor wanted checked out. He wanted to rule out a mole or keyhole pupil. But, luckily, his eye is fine. I actually got to look thru a
microscope thing and see the spot up close. It looks like a zipper. The doctor assured me that his eye is fine. It looks to be only cosmetic. It is just an incomplete pupil. Bailey has to get glasses. The doctor thinks it might just be "2nd grade syndrome". She said alot of kids have to get glasses in 2nd grade but by 3rd or 4th grade, their eyes have corrected themselves and they do not need them anymore. Bay is actually pretty excited about getting glasses. So this next week, I have to find someone that carries our specific plan because Bay says he needs the glasses NOW. All in all, they did such a great job-especially for the amount of time we were there. Bailey wanted to go back to class but Camden tried to go to class but since they dilated their eyes, Camden was having alot of trouble with his eyes so he spent the rest of the day with me.It was so freaky looking at them with their eyes dilated so much. It was almost pure black-scary. Bay thought it was kind of cool but he was ticked off that he could not read the books he brought. Camden did not like it. He wanted to see normally again. We have to go back in two months for a follow up. I am pretty proud of how well they did.
