Eye appointment


This morning we had a follow up visit with Dr. Kelly deSimone, our developmental optometrist- who specializes in disorders like Jazzy's strabismus/amblyopia. Jasmine's overall vision has improved gradually from 20/80 to 20/30 with the glasses and daily eye patching we are doing. She still does not have stereoscopic vision i.e. she has very little depth perception, and her two eyes do not focus together. We are supposed to use even smaller beading exercises, smaller puzzles, more tracing exercises with fatter then thinner lines, and some iron on design making things from JoAnn fabrics. We are also supposed to start "in office" Vision Therapy in the next couple of months to speed the process.
