May 15th was a crazy busy day. We had our normal work, gymnastics, dance, baseball, as well as Jessie's dance pictures, and couple of eye appointments.
Kaelyn has been having headaches almost every day after school for the last few weeks, so was time to get those eyes checked (it has been a couple of years since her last checkup) and while we were there we decided to go and get Jake's checked as well since he lost his glasses couple of months ago and we needed to find out if we needed to replace them or if he was doing fine.
Well Kaelyn has astigmatism and is far sighted so now we have 2 kids with glasses, Yeah for our pocket books. but hopefully no more headaches.
Now Jake who we thought was doing fine because passed the school screening this year (failed last year) and his eye Dr. last year said that he was just a bit far sighted but was still in the normal range for his age, but because his exam was worse then the year before he gave him glasses to wear while doing school work and reading, computer and what not, did not do so well this time. He is now near sighted in his good eye (left) and is not seeing much of anything with his right eye. He was diagnosed with Deep Amblyopia or lazy eye. He now has to go and see a specialist or someone that does Orthoptics (vision training) and has a new Lens prescription. and is now wearing his glasses all day even during play. I have been working on finding him an optometrist who specializes in Vision therapy and hopefully will have him an appointment soon.
