Mira's eyes update

Mira had her 3-month appointment last Friday for her eye exam. We've been faithfully patching every day since her first visit, for about 2 1/2 hours a day. Mira has been so wonderful at keeping her patch on and not complaining much.

Her visit was very encouraging! While Mira really hoped she could be done patching, she'll have to keep patching for another 4 months until her next appointment. BUT, the doctor did say that Mira's vision has improved. She's gone from 20/40 to 20/25 in her left eye, and from 20/80 to 20/50 in her right eye! Hopefully, that will be even better at her next appointment.

I asked the doctor about how long she thought Mira would need glasses (because she had mentioned that it's possible the problem can be fixed), and she thought there was a 50/50 chance that Mira either will always wear them or won't need them at all. We don't care either way, but it would be nice for her to not to have to wear them. We'll see.
