Long post sorry!
Basically on holiday a couple of months ago DH and MIL both mentioned they had noticed a slight squint in one eye, only when she is really tired. Got a referal to see an opthamologist and saw him yesterday. Was all set for him to possibly say she may need to wear a patch for a couple of hours a day, instead he said she is very long sighted and needs to start wearing glasses all the time, immediately. Selected some glasses today and they will be ready next week.
I'm just a bit confused as her dexterity and coordination is great, she has no problem pointing out the smallest details in books and when dropping the ubiquitous raisins finds them in 1 second flat. Unfortunately I had to leave appointment in the middle as had an antenatal appointment myself and think poor DH was in shock and unable to take much in. We've got a follow up in 6 weeks and I was going to go with it all and get our heads round it and ask questions then.(the Dr is senior and well respected). Now wondering if we should consider getting a referral for a second opinion and am unusally dithery which I'm putting down to pregnancy brain (x2 as expecting twins). Anyone been in a similar situation?
