Kyle had surgery on his eye's about a year and half ago because of his lazy eye. Dr. Schlomer strengthened the muscles around both of his eyes. In December, we took him back and the Dr. prescribed glasses for him and said to come back in a month. He couldn't see out of his right eye. We got the glasses and scheduled another appt. for Jan.
Last week, when the assistant began to check Kyle's eyes, he was struggling to see out of his right eye again. The doc came in and said that everything looked fine. I said "I don't think so, because Kyle still couldn't see out of the right eye!" The doc said he'd check it again. After he saw what Kyle was doing with the right eye, he checked the prescription and it was WRONG! He apologized and said that we needed to get a different lens for the right eye and that we needed to patch the good (left) eye.
The optical center said that they would order the new lenses. So, we went back today and waited for them to put them into Kyle's frames. When they were done, the lady told us that the lens was in the frame but was not shaped right, so they are going to order another lens. They should be ready in a another week. So a new lens is in, but the frames might come apart.
When we got home tonight, I put a piece of paper in front of Kyle's good eye. We held up some large letters about 8-10 ft away from Kyle. He's cocking his head to one side to see the letters but he can read them. In the Dr. office he couldn't see them at all. He can also see letters right in front of him and he can write his name with the good eye patched, so that's a good sign too.
Just pray that his right eye stregthens while his left is patched.

Poor Kyle - I don't remember my own drama (too long ago) - but I recall the patch and the stickiness it left.
My left eye is real weak - lazy eye and they did surgery when I was 5.
I still can't see as well as I would like - but the patching was to have helped.
I pray the same happens for Kyle! ;)
