Update

Alyssa had her 3 month check up with the Pediatric Ophthalmologist yesterday and everything is going great. He is still amazed at how well she can see for having albinism. He still thinks she may have 20/40 or 20/50 vision which is awesome. Her eyes were crossing last time we were there and now only her left eye is crossing just a little bit. So that is good to know it has improved. Maybe she won't have to have surgery for that. I told him she hasn't worn her glasses for a few months and he said it was no big deal since her prescription wasn't that strong. So maybe later? I am interested in her getting surgery for her nystagmus (shaking of the eyes) and he said she should probably do it when she is going to be in school, so maybe when is she is like 5 or something. It's not permanent so it can definitely come back which is a real bummer. I think she is doing great and can see very well. The only things I notice her doing is holding books really close to her face, watching TV (elmo) on my computer so she can see better, and she is very cautious when she goes off a curb or if she goes from cement to grass. Her depth perception is definitely not the best.
