M had another check up with her surgeon and optometrist yesterday. This was her routine check-up that has been happening every 4 weeks.
All things seem to be fine, and we are to continue doing what we are doing. This exam, and the last, seem to suggest that M is developing more vision at further distances. She is able to see large objects at further and further distances. Her contact still offers her clear focused vision within a few feet from herself, but this distance vision is still developing apparently.
I had a discussion with the optometrist about how M acts when she is places. She is always racing everywhere to get close to whatever she hears or wants to explore; which results in a darting M racing from place to place everywhere we go. This is not very conducive to most places I would like to visit... This apparently is normal, and can be expected, and will be the way it is until it is deemed that the majority of her learning is no longer taking place within her first few feet. When this happens the contact strength will change, to change the focus point to a farther distance, and glasses will be used for closer vision needs.
We are continuing to patch everyday all day. Full-time patching continues!
M's next appointment will be in 5 weeks from now.
