As the Eye Heals

October 21, 2009 · Leave a Comment

It’s been about 3.5 weeks since C’s eye muscle surgery. 

As her eyes heal, we’re noticing that they cross more than they did right after her surgery, (but certainly a lot less than they did before surgery).   The doctor had said this was expected since her eye muscles will tighten as they heal.  Plus, C has accommodative esotropia so her eyes will cross without glasses.  (I was just sooo excited to see them very straight immediately after surgery.)

She has not been wearing her glasses since the surgery because her current glasses causes one of her eyes to turn outwards.  The PO told us to have her not wear her glasses until she can give us a new prescription.  I hope that C won’t be fussy when she gets new glasses and won’t forget what it’s like to wear them!

We go back for a check-up on Friday.  I hope that the doctor agrees her eyes are healing properly.  Only the inner corners are still red.
