An Update on Paige's amblyopia . . .

So we took Paige into the eye doctor for her next check up. It has been 3 months since her last visit. Our last appointment was somewhat disappointing because there was no change in her test results. They asked us to up her patching time to 4 hours every day during the week and 6 hours during the weekend. With Paige's schedule of sports and extracurricular activities, sometimes we can't get in 4 hours during the day. So we were hoping that by doing extra long days of patching on the weekends would suffice. It did. Paige improved 2 lines on her eye chart and was 100% on those little 3-D charts. If Paige continues on this trend and improves 2 more lines she will be cured! She will be done with glasses...and done with patching. She really liked hearing that and was very excited to get a high 5 from her eye doctor. I was so relieved that we made a step in the right direction! Paige has recently been saying that she hates the way she looks in her glasses and hates the way she looks in her patch. I was just glad we weren't told to patch all day! whew!
So we are going after it strong for another 3 months and keeping our fingers crossed that we are on the home stretch! YAY PAIGE!
