Eye Doctor Follow Up

Today Owen had a follow up appointment with the eye doctor.  The goal of the appointment
was to see if having him wear glasses with a small prescription would help keep his
left eye focused and less likely to drift.  


Thankfully, after running through the tests, she feels that glasses don't make a significant difference as the drift is minor and he has very good control of it.  She wasn't able to get conclusive results on if the glasses would improve his depth perception (something I didn't even realize we were testing).  By the time she got to that test he was over it and would rush through her test giving different answers each time simply because he wanted to be done.  She wasn't worried though and said we can repeat the test at our next appointment.

Though I know glasses would not be that big of a deal, I'm very happy we don't have to deal with them at this point.  One less expense, one less thing to worry about losing or
breaking, or keeping on throughout the day.  Plus it's really nice to know that Owen's
eye is improving.  Our next follow up is in August.  Hopefully things continue to improve.
