Eye Doctor Appointments - Good News

Ethan and Caleb had their eye doctor appointments this morning. The good news is that both of their eyes are improving! Caleb is seeing 20/20 with his glasses, and no longer has to wear his patch (thank goodness!). Ethan is seeing 20/25 with his glasses, and this is another huge improvement! When we first discovered last October that Ethan and Caleb were both very far sighted in their right eyes, Ethan was only seeing 20/80 in his right eye. Then after wearing just the glasses, he improved to 20/70. Then the patching began for 6 hours a day . . . and he improved to 20/40 . . . then more patching and he is now at 20/25! We are very pleased with these results! Since Ethan continues to make improvement with strengthening his sight in his right eye with wearing the patch, he is supposed to continue wearing it 6 hours a day, to hopefully get his vision all the way to 20/20. Then at that point, hopefully we can cut back on the amount of time he has to wear the patch. I am hopeful that at his next appointment at the beginning of September they will say he can reduce his patch wearing time. It is hard on him to have to wear his patch so much, when his brother doesn't have to, but he usually does a pretty good job at it most days.

Here are the guys with their glasses and new short summer haircuts chilling out in the bean bag chairs playing V-smile games tonight!
