Ophthalmologist Visit. Try Saying That 3 Times Fast.

So remember this picture and this picture? Well, Dallin's pediatrician wanted us to go see an ophthalmologist. Dallin had his appointment today. It turns out that it isn't that his right eye is wandering, but rather that his left eye won't raise up like it is suppose to. It focuses straight fine, as well as downward, like when you are reading. It just doesn't want to look upwards or away. We are suppose to look for "patterns" for the next four months. "Patterns" are things like if he is tilting his head a lot when watching TV, or his lid starts to droop, or the eye begins to turn inward towards his nose, or when we notice it happening and how often and what he is doing. The Doc said it is probably nothing life altering, but there is a rare disease that can affect kids that has this symptom. That is way we are going back in 4 months. He wants to keep an eye on his vision (OK, I realize that is a bad pun). The Doc didn't seem too worried about it, so I'm not either. So if any of you every need to see a good ophthalmologist, let me know. He was great and very patient with Dallin. It's hard to check a 2 year old's eyes.
