crap...

So we had Avery's appt today - she is moderatly farsighted and showing visual maturation delay. For now, the doctor has reccomended glasses - yes thats right, glasses for my 11 week old baby. The plan is to use the glasses to help her focus and hopefully straighten out her eyes so they stop crossing. If at 6 months old she is still crossing she will have eye muscle surgery. It was a tense appointment and has left me feeling pretty icky. This was at Hopkins Wilmer eye - I am going to call the pediatric optho doctor we noramlly see on Monday and talk to her about this plan - to make sure she agrees. The doctor we saw to day has less than great bedside manner and to tell you the truth left me feeling worse than I did when I went in for the appt. On a positive note - he said the need for glasses usually resolves around age 5 or6 - maybe sooner if she needs the surgery.
