And she wore them for about an hour tonight. Of course she doesn't like them at all. I know it will take her time to get used to them and we just have to be...
Sue, I have a 21 month old - we started glasses at 15 months. It took three weeks to get him to wear them consistently. I was crazy for those 3 weeks...

sue,Did they say that the glasses would straighten the eye or do you assume this. The glasses will usually straighten the eye if the eye is turning because of...

Hi Dawn, we are using the drops since 4 week for our daughter (Christina, 12 yr.). First we patched her with adhesive-patch, but Tina hate them, of course when...

My daughter at age 3 began with a severe turn inward - glasses did not help her (we tried three different prescriptions) and she had surgery a month ago. I...
I am fairly sure we are trying to treat all of these things....I know we want first of all to get the eyes working together to make sure she develops proper...
Try Lens Crafters if you have them. The Featherweight, Polycarbonate lens with scratchproofing are only $80 and they have a $50 replacement/breakage policy....
Thanks - the really scary thing is that I think we have the poly lens stuff - they're Fisher Price frames with the polycarb lenses and we have a year guarantee...
This might sound like a dumb question but I'm looking for advice on how to find attractive frames for my daughter's extremely thick lenses and I thought maybe...
Sue, I don't have an answer for you about the glasses but had a similar experience when my son first wore his glasses. He was 4 when he got his first pair of...
Thanks Nanci - I'm not kidding myself here and I do realize it's my problem at this point. My little girl is just 17 months old and has hardly had time to be...
I've posted a few messages here about trying to find someone to do vision therapy in the UK - so a quick update for those of you who are interested... Thank...
Sue, I don't think Nanci implied you are stupid - just that she went through a similar experience as did most of us and bottom line is we get used to it...
Thanks Naomi - I never thought Nanci implied I was stupid! I appreciated her telling me she cried all the way home - that's how I felt/feel too still. Great...

Hello everyone. I'm new to the list, but no to mailing lists in general. I've found them to be incredibly helpful resources, and great sources of support and ...
Hi Rich - Doing research yourself is important then go with your gut. Our first visit the dr said "Patch at home if he'll tolerate it" and that was it. After...
Which patch are you using? We switched to felt and then back to adhesive - be warned that he may prefer felt, but if you think you have to be on top of him...
Stacey - re: the lights - did you mean he can't tell if the lights are on or off when he has one eye patched? I think that the ability to perceive light is...
Hi Naomi, He can't tell if the lights are off or on in his left eye while his right eye is patched. Like you said, it isn't percieving any light. I am going to...
... Rich, you are right that everything is speculation at this point. Probably one of the things you should find out from your doctor is how he likes to deal...
This sounds like more than amblyopia. Plaese follow through to find out. I know how you feel about the heartache. My 2 1/2 yr old will wear a patch full...
Hello to all, My 4 year old daughter just had surgery to correct her strabismus for esotropia in one eye. My question is: When will we be able to tell when the...
