Taylor's adventures with the eye doctor.

Taylor when she was a year old had a surgery for a lazy eye. They hoped that they had corrected it and that I had a very small chance of the problem coming back. Well in the past few months Willie, her Grandma, and I have noticed things that made us wonder if she might need glasses. One thing I have also noticed is that her left eye has started to stray again. So I finally got her into the doctor today.



The above picture is Tay in the waiting turn. Yes she is holding a Bible I guess they are there just in case anyone wants to do some light reading. I do like seeing them there, I guess God has not been totally cut out of day to day life. Well, at least not in Utah.

This is Tay reading a Highlights magazine waiting for the doctor to come in and see her. She thought at least at that point sitting in the chair was neat.

John was very good and played is leapster for most of the time that we wear there. I think this look is saying "Mom not another picture!" So I didn't get any pictures of the actual exam because well Tay had to be on my lap and it was just John, Tay, and I. But Taylor did really good. She was able to see out of both eyes which is a great thing. She had her own way of telling the doctor which pictures she was seeing. Like the bird was a quack quack. The doctor laughed and said I will take that answer.

So the results are this. She has a very slight stigmatism and, she is mildly far sighted. He says the left eye muscles still seems to be weak and when it gets tired is when it strays. He said if we hadn't been seeing things that seemed to be bothering her he would probably just suggest watching it and see what would happen because it is so mild. But with the past history we decided that to help that muscle get some strength we would have her wear glasses. It will most likely not be a rest of her life thing. She could grow out of both problems. But for now the glasses will help her out.

I was able to get a picture of her trying on a pair. She tried on 2 purple pair, 2 pink pair, and a brown pair. When she put on the brown pair she pointed at the mirror and said "Daddy!" But in the end she like one of the purple pair the most. She was rather upset that we didn't leave the office with them but we explained that we had to get special lenses put in them just for her and then in about a week we would come pick them up.
