Five Whole Months

Last week Ryan had his follow-up appointment with his eye surgeon. We expected a long appointment with drops to dilate his eyes (always a treat to watch Ryan freak while she puts the drops in) and testing for a new prescription, etc. However, we were pleasantly surprised to be in and out of there in about ten minutes' time! Dr. Goodman was tremendously pleased with how great his eyes look! She had originally planned to put him in a bifocal to help with upclose crossing, but after examining him she said it wasn't necessary because they look so great.

I had been looking at them myself and thinking they look almost "normal," but she usually sees things I don't. We were very happy to leave there with such a good report, and we don't have to patch or do anything until our next visit five months from now!

Also, Ed's work began providing vision coverage with their insurance beginning December 1st, so we bought Ryan a new pair of frames this month. He's grown out of his current ones, and his lenses are so scratched that it will be nice to get new ones next month when his benefits start all over for the new year. That worked out well for us having one month of coverage this year!
