Alison's PT at school had done some tests prior to her IEP re-evaluation and felt that there was a possible problem with Alison's eyes, that they weren't working together. So we immediately go in touch with our eye doctor, who also happens to be one of Kevin's softball teammates and knows Alison's history, and he recommended getting her in for a full, dilated exam as soon as possible. Today was the day. Alison did pretty well with everything, even the drops to dilate her eyes. She wasn't quite so cooperative when it came to reading the eye chart, because we all know she can see better than what she was letting on. I explained what the PT's concerns had been and the Dr.'s assistant did all the same test that the PT had done. Dr. Bell came in took a quick look at her, did a quick test and told me he could see why the PT had thought there was a problem with her eyes but that they were actually fine. The bridge of Alison's nose is a little wider than normal, so it makes her eyes look off center. Dr. Bell called it pseudo-Strabismus. He did all the rest of the regular tests and confirmed that she can see better than what she was letting on, but is slightly near-sighted and has some astigmatism, though not enough to need correcting at this point. He wants to see her back in a year and a half or two years, unless there is another problem between now and then, and at that time she'll probably be needing glasses. Well, we knew that was coming....Kevin and I both wear glasses and in two years Alison will be just between the age I was when I got my first pair and Kevin was when he got his.
