Kris took Charis to the Ophthalmologist yesterday. After a two and a half hour examine, she was diagnosed with Strabismus and Amblyopia in her left eye and severe farsightedness in both eyes.
The doctor recommended that we start with glasses and then come back in 3 months for more.
So today we went to Stars in your eyes http://www.starsinyoureyes.com/, to look into Vision Therapy and pick out glasses. The Optometrist (different from the Ophthalologist) gave us a second opinion that was very similar but included more vision therapy and helped us pick out glasses.
After 36 hours of information, but strangely still not enough to understand, we are overwhelmed, confused, worried and anxious to get her new glasses and start vision therapy.

Wow! What a day for you guys! I'm sure Charis will look absolutely lovely in glasses! And it's good they found it so young so the vision therapy can get to work early! I'm praying that it all goes well!

Crazy! How did you guys know to get her checked? We had to get Finn checked months ago, remember? I can't wait to see her new glasses. :) She's going to look great! I guess my God-daughter must have inherited her eye sight from her God-mother... Sorry. :\ I can sympathize. Hope you guys start feeling like your getting the information you need.
Love,
God-mother Katrina
Thank you both! We will need and appreciate your prayers. If it is not corrected in time, she could go completely blind in her left eye. And surgery is a likely option if vision therapy and the glasses do not work quickly.
We noticed her eye wander inward a little and went to see her doctor. She thought Charis was fine but I pressed her for a referral to specialist. Thanks again!
