Eye appointment

Last week, Amelia had her yearly check up. As part of the check up, they recommended Amelia get a full eye exam because it appeared that she wasn't able to see very well. The quick exam indicated her vision might be somewhere in the 20/100 range.

I was present during Amelia's exam, (as much as one can be present while keeping Gemma from climbing walls and dismantling furniture.) and I had doubts about the accuracy of the exam. From my perspective, it was clear to me that Amelia didn't know WHERE to look in the viewfinder versus not being able to see the letters. The poor nurse tried over and over to get Amelia to read a line of letters to her and Amelia just couldn't figure it out.

Anyhow, this led to is being referred for the full work up, which was this morning.

After an exam, the eye doctor declared her eyes were perfect and he didn't see any sign that there were any problems.

I'm relieved that I didn't miss a change in her vision or even a gradual change the happens over time. I've spent the weekend evaluating her every move, trying to detect a weakness in vision without luck.

Amelia was pretty disappointed as she had her heart set on a pair of sparkly pink glasses....
