Patch

Avery and I had a follow-up appointment with her eye doctor this morning.  When she's wearing the glasses, her eyes do not cross; when she removes them, her left eye (the weaker one) goes inward.  With her glasses on, her left eye still is not as strong as the right, though there is no crossing issue.

Given all this, we have been instructed to begin patching 3-4 hours per day.  Those hours don't have to be consecutive, though the doctor said that since kids don't particularly like to patch their eyes, it usually works best to do it in one chunk each day.

She didn't give us a patch - we have to order them online.  Since they come 50 patches per box, I guess that means we use a new one for each session.  OK, I just ordered them and went with the girl-themed designs: fairies, flowers, giraffes, sea animals, and pink swirls.  I think Avery will love getting to pick which one she is going to wear each day.
