… no sooner was I back then I was gone again.  The last two months have been very busy, very strange and very stressful and I just haven’t managed to get myself together enough to write.  Facebook may well be playing a part in my lack of blogging, I seem to be addicted

More patching

Posted in Aches and Pains, Family, Lazy Eye, Life, Photo on May 5, 2008 | Leave a Comment »

Our fourth trip to the eye clinic today.  Little’un’s eyesight is still improving and we are refining the patching method so as to encourage further improvement.  Intead of doing fairly benign tasks such as eating lunch or watching the telly whilst wearing her patch, Little’un must now use her close vision more and do tasks such as colouring, [...]

Her glasses are doing the trick for now, particularly as she is [...]

Whilst we were quietly sitting in the quiet waiting room at the Eye Clinic today, Little’un spotted a man with a beard and an eye patch…
Little’un (at top volume):  OOOOooooohhhhh, Mummy, look, there’s a PIRATE over there!!!
Cue muffled giggles from me and hearty laughter from the Nice Ladies sitting opposite us.
The pirate man in question [...]

Accommodative Esotropia (a squint to you and me)

Little’un has recently developed a pronounced squint so today we have been to see the Orthoptist and Opthalmologist to get it looked at.  Turns out she is long sighted so she now needs to wear glasses.  Any tips on getting a three-year-old to keep her glasses on/not break them/not use them as a toy will [...]
