Developmental Eye Dr

Wow, this post is way overdue! 

I learned so much at the developmental eye dr that I was slightly overwhelmed.  We got more useful information at the appointment then we have in 3.5 years at the regular ophthalmologist.  

The dr had some really great insight which made a lot of sense to us.  He also seemed to uncover that Charlie Claire only uses her left eye.  It appears that when C tries to use BOTH eyes that she sees DOUBLE so to compensate her brain "shuts off" the right eye and she only uses her left.  

Due to this finding, Charlie Claire is getting glasses! :) The glasses should help C use both eyes without seeing double! We also received a TON of homework to do with Charlie Claire.  Thank goodness for our nanny because C isn't super interested in doing said homework with me but is very cooperative with Miss Kristen! 

The eye dr really wants to challenge Charlie Claire (hence all the homework) because he thinks she will really benefit once we get her vision back on track. We also have the most amazing OT who went to two appointments with us at the eye dr's office so she could hear all the information first hand and work on all this vision goodness during her sessions with C as well! :) 

Aside from all of that we just recently enjoyed a fun filled few days in NJ and we are soaking in as much summer as we can!!! 

We heart our beach days!
