Kinley had her latest eye exam today back at her regular ophthalmologist. It was unlike any of her previous visits. She didn’t have to be held down and they didn’t have to use the speculum to keep her eyes open. Instead, she got to sit up and they used some flashing toys to help direct her attention.
She is looking great. Her ophthalmologist said there’s a chance that she might not even need glasses, but it’s too soon to really tell. She’ll have another appointment shortly after her birthday and then we’ll probably move to visits only once or twice per year to follow her progress.
The next big test will come around when she hits her teens and her eyes take big steps in growth and development.
