Yesterday the girls had their appointment with Dr. Blumenfeld, a neuro-opthomologist who is partners with Dr. Gold, the girls opthomologist. The appointment went great...the doctor was wonderful, and the girls are FINALLY getting treatment for their vision problems. Turns our the reason for the turning in of their eyes is they are far-sighted. They also have an astigmatism as well. The doctor has decided to prescribe glasses to the girls. He wants them to wear them for three months and come back to see if the crossing has improved. If not, he will talk about patching and if that does not work by the time they are three, he will discuss surgery. But for now, I'm just excited that we're doing something and that their is a "cure". As for what the glasses will look like, I have posted a picture as well. Paige's will be pink, of course. The only other color for Bree was a baby blue...no purple! One surprising thing about all of this is that Paige's prescription is much stronger than Bree's...we always thought Paige's vision was stronger.
