We recently received amazing news...Alexa was told by her eye doctor that she doesn't have to wear a patch anymore! What a blessing!
At two weeks old, our pediatrician noticed a cloudy spot in Alexa's eye. After seeing a specialist, we were told she has a cataract in her left eye. She was born with this rare condition, but given her age, surgery to remove the cataract wasn't ideal. Instead, we've been treating it with patching for 4 years now...which is why we feel so blessed to know that it has been working! Of course, the actual cataract is still there but it isn't affecting her eye or her vision. Praise God!
