Noah Got His Mother's Eyesight




As you might have noticed from pictures I've posted up here, our sweet baby Noah has been cross eyed a little bit longer than is normal for a baby.  It usually goes away by the time they are 3 months old, but at Noah's 4 month appointment it wasn't even a little bit better.  Our doctor referred us to a pediatric optometrist who we went and saw last week.  It turns out that Noah is very farsighted and that his right eye is doing all of the work.  We have some glasses on special order for him (they should be here in a few days) and we'll see what they do to help correct the problem.  It sounds like, in all liklihood, he will have to have surgery to help relax his eye muscle in a couple of years.  He's happy as could be though, and taking this problem in stride.  We'll see if that keeps up once the glasses come.

I was born with crossed eyes...both of them. I was 11 months old when I had surgery and though my left eye wanders now and then, it's better than being blind. My mom might now more if you are interested in talking to her I can give you her email. He's still a cutie all the same.
