Dr. appointment on Friday

This Friday we have our second visit with Dr. Mungan. He is a pediatric ophthalmologist. Because of the Albinism, Lucy will see him pretty regularly (this is the second visit - first one 6 months ago). Then he said that her vision was perfect for a person with Albinism. There were no refractive errors at the time. This means that there was nothing that could be fixed with glasses. Because she was so young, he was unable to tell what exactly her vision was. He guessed it was 20/100. She has more language now, but I am still not sure if he will be able to determine much about her vision. I will post more after the appointment.

Praying that everything goes well. They can tell approximately how well you can see with all those fancy tests, but you're right, until Lucy is able to "take" the eye exam, it'll be hard to know specifics. Just make sure she has plenty of light when she's reading the newspaper so she doesn't strain her eyes... haha :o)

hugs to you all!!!!
