Sully got his glasses today! He had failed the eye exam at school so we took him for a full eye exam. The vision in his left eye is near perfect but his right eye is pretty bad. He could not see the big E on the eye chart and things are mostly fuzzy at this point. It is called Amblyopia (lazy eye) but you can not tell just by looking at him. The hard part is that at this point the glasses really don't help him see any better because we have to retrain his eye. It is a little confusing but this article explains it pretty well http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amblyopia
We will start doing some patching and are going to follow up with a Pediatric Opthamologist at Children's hospital in July. Sully is very excited about his new glasses! He looks absolutely adorable in them!
