Ever since Owen turned two we've been taking him to the eye doctor every 6 months. We
noticed his eyes were wandering from time to time so we wanted to keep an eye on it. Our
6 month appt was today so I decided to take some pictures of all the games they play with
him while he is there. They definitely know how to make it fun.
As of today's appointment Owen has very good control of his eyes. The wandering has
improved and it is not as much of a concern. They did however notice that the vision in his
left eye might not be as good as the vision in his right. With kids this age it is hard to make
a determination after only one visit because it is sometimes hard to tell if they are truly
having a hard time, or if perhaps they are simply getting bored with all of the different tests
they are being asked to perform. Dr. Rahmani asked us to come back in four months so
they could recheck his vision and decide if Owen needs glasses. I'm sure he would look
super cute in glasses, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed that he doesn't need them.
Your son looks like he is having so much fun there. My daughter needs to go to the eye doctor for the first time soon. I have been so worried about how the visit will go, and how it will be handled. Your blog has given me an idea of what to expect. I can breathe a little easier now.

I'm glad it made you feel a little better. I'm not sure how kids are handled at all offices, but they were great with him at Lurie Children's Hospital. Patient, made things fun...overall a great experience. Hopefully things go well with your daughter's visit too.
DeleteI like all the photo's you have added to your blog, it's nice that the eye doctors is child friendly and they have tried to make it fun for your son. I'm glad Owen's eyes are improving and want to wish you and your family health and happiness for the future. My sister had to wear an eye patch when she was young to correct her vision.

Thank you! It does make it a lot easier that the doctor's office is so kid friendly. I'm glad you enjoy the photos and I appreciate the comment. :)
ReplyDeleteYour pictures make it look like it's worth getting your eyes checked just for the fun! My wife has talked for a while about getting my boy's eyes checked out - she thinks one wanders a bit. If it's as relaxed as this looks I think I might agree with her!
