He is so cute in those glasses!!!

They didn't have all that for the lazy eyes when Eddie was a baby and he is now blind in that eye fron lack of use I but it has not effected his life at all. Eddies eye looks normal, it just don't have any vision in it. NOBODY even suspects either.

Aiden looks very handsome and smart. Does he try to take them off?
My daughter had a condition as a child called amblyopia & had to wear a
patch too. It worked great. Is this what Aiden's eye condition is ?

No, Aidan's main visual issue is called coloboma. He's missing a portion of his retina in both eyes. In addition to that, his left eye is microphthalmiac (that means it's smaller than a "normal" eye). We aren't sure of the extent of his vision right now and won't be until he can tell us what he can and can't see, but we do know that he has better vision out of his right eye and favors it - which is why his left eye has started turning in. With the glasses, we're trying to help him realize he's got TWO eyes he can use and therefore, saving his sight in that eye.


Thanks, everyone, for the kind comments!
