Update on Caleb's eye dr. appt

I just typed out a whole post and lost it, urgh!

Anyway we went to see Dr. Board with Raleigh Eye Center today. It was a really quick appointment. He did a cover test and looked inside Caleb's eyes. Everything looks great. I really liked Dr. Board, he took the time to explain everything and show me pictures of what he was talking about. I had never noticed a crossed eye in Caleb, and he said unless the parents notice it there is usually not a cross. He said sometimes there is an appearance of a crossed eye because of the way their nasal nose bridge is developing.

He also mentioned 3.5 years old is a great time for their first "real" eye exam (after an infant one) because you "get the most bang for your buck" since the child can participate in the exam.

Yea! Dr. Board is awesome and always takes time to answer as many questions as a parent can have.

I had this same situation as a child....my pedi thought I was cross eyed so my mom took me to an eye dr and they said it was the narrowness of the bridge of my nose. I've never had any issues. So glad your appt went well.
