We had our appointment today at the Royal. Turns out his glasses aren't doing their job properly so we have to start patching his eye.

Basically we have to patch his good eye so that his bad eye has to do all the work. I got told today that a big part of the reason he has his glasses is so that his bad eye doesnt have to concentrate on focusing. Thats what his glasses are for. Its just the nerves that connect from his eye to his brain arent working properly this in turn making him have a lazy eye that doesnt want to turn. Not because there is anything wrong with the eye, its the nerves.

So when we patch his good eye it will make his bad eye work harder and hopefully will fix the nerves. The doc said that we are lucky that we have caught it now as once you hit 7 or 8 whatever your eyesight is then is as good as it will get so he said we have time on our hands at least to get his eye back to normal. If things don't improve, there was mention of surgery to repair the damaged nerves but hopefully he won't have to have that. If he does it wont be til he is over 8 to give us as much time as possible to fix it.
