Lulu's ophthalmologist's appointment today took close to 3 hrs! She had to have her eyes dilated, and that wait alone was close to an hour. I'm so glad we waited this long before scheduling this appointment, since she is now much more patient and knows a lot of English. She did a great job answering questions to what shapes were on the screen and the small pictures she had to pick out. They also patched one eye, and then the other, as well as put strange looking glasses on her. Those she kept wanting to take off.
Lulu has astigmatisms and her vision is a little poor with both distance and seeing close up. Her right eye that has the micro cornea is worse than the left. The doctor said there was not much difference in the sizes of her corneas. In China, her right eye was measured at 9 mm and I believe 11 mm is about normal. We have pictures of her as a baby and toddler in China, and her right eye was obviously a lot smaller compared to the left one. Now they are looking a lot more equal. Other than her vision, the health of her eyes are good. Now we just need to go and pick out glasses!

Congrats on getting glasses! AA got her new prescription glasses back in Nov. 2010. She picked our some pink Sketchers. We also were able to get the prescription lens put in her sunglasses.

Thank you! She wore them a lot at first, but now has to be reminded at times to wear them. Glad your daughter can see better now too!
