We have been dilating her right pupil (good eye) since December for lazy eye. On Saturday we took her to see her opthamologist and we are soo excited that the once a week treatment is working! No glasses!!!
When the nurse first checked Elyse, she didn't want to cooperate. I was beginning to worry that her vision was getting worse, but then Dr. Curnyn came in and with some struggle, she was able to get Elyse to read the pictures with the right eye patched. Elyse allowed the doctor to examine her eyes up close without fighting me.
Dr Curnyn was just as excited as we were when Elyse started reading all the pictures. I asked her though, why Elyse continues to fight us when we try getting her to read the pictures with her right eye covered and she said because Elyse knows that its her weak eye. She gave us some patches to "practice" at home.
Dr Curnyn wants us to continue with the treatment for 2 more months. She is very hopeful that when we return, Elyses vision will be 20/20 and we can discontinue the treatment!! :)
I am soo happy we switched opthamologist. She is amazing and the way she gets Elyse to cooperate, leaves me speechless. I totally recommend her!!!!
