Sydney had a follow-up appointment today with the eye doctor. Dr. White performed all of the tests necessary to see if the glasses were helping with the misaligment and turning of her eyes. While Sydney still struggles with identifying objects out of her left eye, she did very well with the right eye. Her vision is now 20/100 in her left and 20/30 in her right. That doesn't sound too great, but its a significant improvement from her first appointment 8 weeks ago. Dr. White now wants us to try patching her left eye 2 hours a day for the next 8 weeks to see if that helps even more - we are praying it does because it's so hard to watch her struggle with her vision.
After the appointment Sydney picked out her eye patches - she chose the box with dalmation spots, lady bugs and funny looking stick people. We haven't had too much luck with her keeping the patch on today, but I have managed to snap a couple "pirate" pictures so far....
