Iyla was such a trooper with the drops and all the fun little eye 'games' they had her play. For a reward, she earned a brochure (she LOVES brochures-- no matter the subject matter). I thought this one was appropriate:

What big (healthy) eyes you have...
Well, today was Iyla's first trip to the Opthamologist!! She went to see Dr North (Children's Hospital) on the recommendation of the International Adoption Center. The IAC recommends ALL children recently adopted have vision and hearing exams completed prior to being home 6 months to catch anything that may delay or impede their development. In addition, Dr. Staat wanted to be sure that Iyla does NOT have Strabismus and that instead she has Pseudo-Strabismus. After Dr. North's examination, it was decided that this is the case. Iyla has Pseudo-strabismus due to her wide nose bridge and the epicanthal (sp?) fold which covers up part of her eye. This leads her to appear slightly cross-eyed. He says her eyes work very well and operate as they should (no turning in, etc). YAY!!! We will have to go back in 6 months to make sure that the Pseudostrabismus does not develop into the real deal (has happened ON OCCASION)-- but so far so good.
