Before I tell about our trip to the ophthalmologist, I have to add in a quick doctor's appointment story from Monday. I took Nathan and Benson in for their well check appointments which were a few months overdue. Bryson was home, so I left the girls home with him. In the waiting room, Nathan and Benson were playing together. A lady asked me how far apart they were in age. I told her 6 years. Then she told me that I sure waited awhile in between kids and that 6 years was a big gap. Ha ha! I told her that I have two more in between those and one on the way. She was nice and asked how old they were and stuff like that. I just thought that was a funny comment.
So, Tuesday (yesterday), Kayla had an appointment with Dr. Lee, her ophthalmologist. Kayla did really well saying or pointing at the letters she needed to and answering questions. When she had her right eye covered, which is her good eye, she could hardly see anything. Dr. Lee stood about 4 feet away from and was moving her hand up and down or side to side in large motions, asking Kayla which way she was moving it. Kayla could tell which way her hand was moving, but that was about it. Up close, she couldn't see very well either.
Her right eye is normal for her age. She measured at 20/40, which is about the same as her last appointment. Her left eye is 20/2500. I was mistaken when I posted about our last trip to Dr. Lee. I think I said her vision was 20/250. Dr. Lee told me it was 2/250, which was equivalent to 20/2500. Kayla does compensate very well. You can't tell at all that she can only see out of one eye. We will go back in two months for another follow up appointment. She did not have her eyes dilated this time, but they will do it next time. And that is that.
