Lex can see 20/20 again!

Today Lex had another ophthalmologist appointment to see how well he could see.

He read a line further down on the eye chart than he did last time!

Last time he was 20/30, and the doctor recommended that we increase the number of hours that he wears his eye patch to four hours per day, in order to try to get to 20/20 vision before his neuro-optical pathway had fully formed.

And it worked!

We are going to keep patching for four hours a day until his next appointment in April, when he is five and a half years old.  Then I hope that he will be old enough for us to try to wean him off the patch and still maintain 20/20 vision with his glasses.  I don't know if that is what the doctor is hoping, though.  She said that he is still clearly favoring his stronger eye when she did some other tests today.
