Re: Isaac's 15 month check up

Hi Mimi,

Glad to hear that you had a good check up!

Depending on the problem with Isaac's eyes he may get glasses.

Olivia has severe astigmatism and got her first pair of glasses at 10

months old, she weighed about 10lbs then.

Good luck with it and a big hug for Isaac for getting his needles!

Hi

Tori has been wearing glasses for almost a year and she does great with them

she turned 5 in DEC though. But I have a cousin that has been wearing glasses

since she was 10 months old cause both of her were lazy and tori wears baby

glasses cause her face is small. Well good luck.

Isaac's 15 month check up

Hello everyone-

Isaac had his 15 month exam today. He has gained almost a pound in a

month vs the 5 oz monthly gain before the Periactin..so it is

working!! The pediatrician was pleased with his progress over the last

year even though he is still well below 3% on the charts. He does want

us to see a pediatric opthomologist because Isaac eyes cross

occasionally. I am not sure if they can do anything about it at this

point because I assume he is too little for glasses. All in all it was

a good visit-except for the shots of course.

Take Care-

I believe crossed eyes are sometimes easily fixed by patching or

wearing glasses. The sooner you cathch the problem the better. I feel

bad that it took me so long to notice my 's eye issues.

My started wearing glasses a few months after he turned 2. I

didn't notice he had a problem until I was gathering photos to send to

Grandma. When I looked at all the photos taken outside, he was always

covering his right eye. I knew this wasn't right.... Turns out he has

extropia (eye turns out rather than in) and his vision in his right eye

was pretty poor. They didn't patch his eye but once he started wearing

glasses and using that eye it strengthened. His musles have grown so

much stronger in that eye, the Dr. has not been able to get it turn

out. Yahooo!! Means no surgery!!

He was very small at the time but we were able to get glasses at an

optomitrist that specilaized in children's glasses. Of course, this

also meant more expensive. Once Matt realized how much his vision

improved he did not take his glasses off and on and is really great

about wearing them. When he was younger, our biggest problem was other

children at daycare trying to grab at his glasses. Poor Matt suffered

a few cuts and bruises.... Plus we had several pairs of broken glasses.
