Today Sarah had her progress evaluation with the eye doctor. The office had called to cancel her visual therapy last week and this week, and her therapist was out the week before, so I wasn't expecting a huge improvement. We found out today that she quit, so we will have to be worked into the other therapist's schedule. I am not sure how that is going to work and I am still waiting on a call from her.
Anyway, the progress evaluation went awesome! At the last evaluation, Sarah could only see 20/30 (with a -2 digital correction) with her contacts. Today she could see 20/25 and even a little 20/20. That's huge. Her recoveries are so much better. Everything just looked awesome. She was scheduled for 30 visual therapy sessions. The therapist thought that might be a little conservative with all of the issues she was having. Today the eye doctor was so impressed that she officially cut her from 30 to 25 sessions! That is 30 less homework sessions and 5 less sessions in the office! AND, she said that if she continues to improve so much, at her next progress evaluation she may tell us we are done then at 20 sessions.
She does still have to continue to patch her dominant eye for 2 hours a day. She said she was keeping it that way because of all of the progress we are seeing, and if we reduced it, we might not see as much progress. Also, if she reduced it, she would have only reduced it to an hour and a half, so it is better to just stay where we are at.
Anyway, we are VERY VERY happy with this news! Definitely a step in the right direction.
