Sayonara ROP!!!

Baby girl's eyes are mature now and there is no more trace of ROP! Woot! We don't have to see the eye doctor for another 6 months unless we see something that concerns us. Since she may have some slight decreased vision in her right eye, she has the tendency to not use it as much. When she awakens she will open the left eye first and then open the right eye after another minute. She does the same thing when she's sleepy too. The doctor says it's very, very common for infants to stop using an eye that they don't see perfectly from even if the difference in both eyes is very small.

Miss Thang will have to wear an eye patch over her left eye for 1 hour per day to train her to use the right eye. As simple as it is, it's a very effective treatment for "lazy eye." Don't worry, there will be pictures. :laugh:

All in all, we're VERY happy about today's visit!
