Last week, I took Ruth in for a routine eye exam before she starts kindergarten in the fall. She had her eyes examined through the Lion's Club during preschool this past year and everything came back normal. So I was thinking all will be fine. WRONG!!!!!!! The eye tech person had Ruth do a few tests and then the doctor came in. I was SHOCKED to hear her say Ruth has astigmatism in both eyes and amblyopia. To get a more accurate reading of her vision, Ruth's eyes were dilated. She was such a trooper when the drops were put in her eyes, no fighting one bit. If I remember correctly with Clare, she was feisty. Two hours later, we left and came back the next day to pick out frames. Ruth's vision was blurry with the dilation and wasn't in the mood. However, later this summer Ruth's eyes will be tested again to see how they are doing with glasses. There is a chance she may have to wear a patch on her eye if her vision doesn't improve.
