Monday morning and it was daddy's birthday. However, he refused to open a single card until he knew how Jamie was.
Following yesterdays afternoon in A&E we were given an appointment for 9.30am in Clinic 8. We were seen just before 10.30. I am not sure whether this is because we had come from A&E. I did ask the receptionist and she said they were working from 4 lists that morning.
After 3 hours daddy was able to celebrate his birthday. Jamie has nothing serious wrong with his eye.
What he has got (we were told) is a Microsquint, defined as a small-angle
heterotropia, usually 10 dioptres or less, which, whilst associated with
defective binocular function, cannot be treated. Microsquint is often associated
with anisometropia; both predispose children to amblyopia. Children with
microsquint are prescribed eyeglasses if they are anisometropic. Long-term
follow-up is advised to detect and treat early amblyopia. http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/microsquint.
They also mentioned that he could possibly be long sighted.
All this means that Jamie won't have to attend his annual appointment at the end of January, but will be going back in 4 months time to have a sight test.
