Tessa’s Third Post Op Eye Appt

Monday, May 12, 2008

Today was Tessa’s appt with the eye specialist to see if she needed to continue with eye patching. The eye doctor felt that Tessa’s eyes are still aligned and she will no longer need to wear eye patches. He will see her again near her 2nd birthday. We discussed when Tessa is excited running her left eye sometimes will turn for a second. The eye doctor feels this is still part of the adjustment process. As for her eyes at times sometimes appearing crossed the eye doctor feel this is okay and because of Tessa’s flat nose you get the illusion of her eyes seeming more crossed.
