Today, we went to the local children's hospital to have Collin's eyes checked. This was a follow up visit from a few months ago to see if his swollen optic nerve on the right eye had changed. Collin did FANTASTIC while we were there almost 4 hours. He sat still when the technician checked his eyes and asked him to tell her the name of the object projected on the wall. She was amazed when he said "telescope" for a pair of binoculars (why would a almost-3-year-old know this anyway?). She then had to take pictures of his eyes. He was a little fidgety for this but it had already been three hours and past lunch time (I brought plenty of snacks and drink for him fortunately). I could not believe that he did not pull the patch off of his eye when she was testing each eye separately. Here are pictures of him having a snack, watching the TV in the exam room and the "patch" test.
The results of today's visit are that the optic nerve is still swollen and has not changed. She wants him to get a MRI for her to see behind the eye to make sure she is not missing anything. That appointment is at the end of the month.
