Jordan had an eye appointment on Saturday and we got some really good news. The doctor checked his eyes and they have improved greatly (from about 20/2600 to 20/620). He is getting new lenses in his glasses for the new prescription. Also, for now we will not be "patching" with Jordan. Patching is when you place a patch over the good eye to make the bad eye do all the work. There are also some things you can do to help your bad eye get more work. This doctor likes to give the kids glasses with one red lens and one green lens. Then you get a colored pencil and fill in all the open holes in a
magazine or newspaper page. For now we don't have to worry about it. The doctor even said that if things improve this good for the next 6 months to a year - Jordan might not even need glasses. It would be great to get to that point.
