Tomorrow afternoon the boy has an eye doctor appointment. He has to do a patch test for this appointment, which means he has to patch his right eye for two hrs before we go. That way the doctor can see the difference between the way the eyes cross or do not cross. He has had Strabismus since he was born and back in 2002 he had surgery to have the muscles shortened on both eyes so that they would not cross so much. Things have been wonderful since, you cannot tell anymore that there was an issue.
We went in the last month just to get a new prescription since his glasses were broken and he needed a new pair. While we were there the doctor let us know that one of his eyes was beginning to cross again and we needed to do the patch test to see what was going on. I am nervous about tomorrow's appointment, I really hope that there is something we can do to avoid surgery again. I do not want him to have to go through that another time.
Yikes! Good luck to you guys! Hope everything improves!
