I haven't posted in awhile but thought I had better do so now or else I'll forget everything. A few months ago we went into for a check up but William was not cooperating and Dr Maslin couldn't see what was happening with his eye at all so we had to be booked in for an EUA to get it checked out. His pressure in the eye was low so that was a relief and his sight was getting stronger so we have had a contact change and are now down to a +23 diopter contact lens. Then last week I had another appointment but Dr Maslin wasn't there and I had the registrar. I wasn't looking forward to it as I thought she wouldn't know much however the Registrar was really nice. She had been in with Dr Maslin when they did William's EUA and she said they can't believe how well he sees out of his micro eye and she said its all down to me and my persistence with patching so that was nice to hear. While in the consulting room she took the patch off him to watch his eyes she mentioned that his eye sight in the right eye must be very good as he flicks to look out of the eye sometimes so the brain must think the eye is worthwhile to look out of even though he's not patched. So the check up with well I thought. We did discuss reducing patching time but she wants Dr Maslin to see William and get his opinion on whether we can reduce it a bit so as not to disadvantage the good eye.
William is starting to walk which is so cute and he sometimes misjudges when to grab hold of the couch or my leg or some other object but thats to be expected I guess since he doesn't have binocular vision. I'm sure his brain will adapt over time.
