He thinks she may have some trouble seeing through her left eye because during one of the exams, when i was asked to cover the left eye, she was able to tell us what the pictures were on the wall. Yet every time I tried the covering the right eye, she cried and wouldn't tell me what the picture was. In order to know whether her eye is lazy, he has instructed us to patch her right eye for 2 hrs. if we notice that she's having a hard time seeing, then we need to continue patching her right eye every day for 2 hrs for 4 months. If she does have lazy eye and the patching doesn't work, then he wants to do surgery to correct her eye. In the past, he said there was no concern, but we all saw how bad her eye was getting. Right now, her left eye is very sensitive to the wind and bright lights. A few weeks ago, we started noticing that she blinks alot.
We have asked her doctors in Milwaukee to refer us to an Ophthalmologist. Today was our first day with the patch and it was hard. We gave up after an hour and 45 minutes. I really couldn't tell how she was seeing. Tomorrow we will try again. =(
