A Visit to the Eye Doctor.

Stella had her follow-up visit to the eye doctor today.  She is doing great!  The doctor was really pleased with how her glasses are fully correcting the lazy eye - and the patching is doing the trick by helping the weaker eye to regain its strength and sight.  Both eyes are working together more effectively with the brain and the doctor even said we might decrease and eventually take a break from patching sometime soon.  Stella got some new lenses (thankfully they were covered under warranty) because both of hers were scratched in the line of vision.

Swirly chairs are fun!

Daddy and Stella share a bagel.

We had a playdate this afternoon after our busy morning at the opthamologist's office, and when I went to take Stella out of her carseat I realized that one of her brand new lenses had popped out of her glasses - yikes!  I found the lens in her carseat and I called Concord Eye Care; they said they'd take a look at them, to come on in.  Living over an hour away we can't just drop by and when I told the optometrist we couldn't afford to make the trip again after just being there this morning she said she'd send a whole new pair in the mail in the next week.  We will return the faulty glasses when Stella gets her new pair - great service and it won't cost us anything more than the cost to mail the glasses back once the new pair arrives...phew!  Thank you God for kind doctors and good patient care!
