Eye Exam #2

About six weeks ago Esme began closing her right eye when she pointed at anything in the distance.  Very consistently, right eye and always distance.

She had an eye exam last May and was found to be plano in both eyes.  That means that she's going to be nearsighted when she gets older.  That makes sense since Aaron and I are both nearsighted.  BTW - I didn't do either of her eye exams.  First of all, I have no desire to do pediatric eye exams and secondly, anything that I tried to do to her was not working.  She is much more well behaved with "her doctor", Dr. P. :)

It turns out that she's a little more nearsighted in her right eye now than her left.  That's why she's closing it when she's looking far away.  It's blurry for her.  All this means is that she will probably wear glasses sooner than we thought she would and that she's going to be a person who notices details.  I have many patients who have a lot more blur than that and have no idea!

So, here are a few pictures from her exam.  She did really well!

She's quite the poser, isn't she? :)
