DS2 had an eye test yesterday, will need glasses - no big surprise as I'm very short sighted. The eye doctor (we live in Germany where you always see the eye doctor first not the optician) spent ages looking in his left eye after he had the drops to enlarge his pupils. He said he had something on the retina that looked a bit like a hole but DS2 was moving about too much for him to be sure and he said he'S too young (6) to have a hole so it'S probably just harmless pigment but the only way to be sure would be to send him to the eye hospital for tests under anasthetic and he wouldn't recomend that and we should come back in 6 weeks. Feeling very scared and knowing I'm going to be thinking about it all through the summer holidays - any advice?
