Did you ever wish you had a eye patch for a special occasion but couldn’t find one? My son wears sticky patches and other than drawing directly on them or sticking stickers on them they aren’t exactly the easiest thing to customize. We decided to make our own cool patches. They are easy to make …

In September, we found out that our son needed glasses. We had noticed his eye turning in a little bit, but it wasn’t dramatic and he didn’t seem to show any signs of a vision problem. He was a little older than three at the time. His first appointment was incredibly traumatic with both of …
I’ll admit that before Evan was born I was a mom that felt like it was important to have my kids vision checked before they started Kindergarten (and not necessarily before), and that’s exactly what I had done with my older kids. When Evan was a baby I became friends with our local Optometrist who …

It was one of those check ups as a parent you will never forget. Everything was going smoothly. She was right where she should be at for motor skills and growth even though she is small. Then I was questioned if I ever noticed anything odd with her right eye by her pediatrician. Of course …

The day Scott was born we knew something was wrong. When the pediatrician checked his left eye it had no red reflux. (meaning no red light would shine back which is what normally happens.) We were then set up for an appointment at casey eye. No one would tell us what could be wrong! We …
At Reed’s 6-month well check our pediatrician recommended we go see an ophthalmologist because his eyes were really crossing. We both figured it was a muscle problem given that there is a history of eye issues and lazy eye in both families. Little did we know the eye alignment was only half of the problem. …
This year my little boy celebrated his 3rd birthday and the day before his birthday we found out that he has enough vision to be able to get a driver’s license. “So what?” you might think, “everybody can get that”. Well there’s a bit more to his story. Dane was a beautiful little baby. So …

Denton was born at 29 weeks gestation, 11 weeks too soon. Our second premature son. Due to eyes fully developing at week 32 we had to see a pediatric opthamologist for ROP. Thankfully we were clear and free of ROP. At 6 months old my husband was the first to notice my son’s right eye …
My son Jaxon is almost 5 years old. We noticed something was going on with his eyes just shortly after his 1st birthday. I recall looking through photos from his birthday party and noticing that the red reflex (red eye) existed in just one of his eyes. The other eye did not have “red eye” from …
Hi my name is Chandler and I am 17 years old! I was born with bilateral congenital cataracts. The cataracts were so dense if they weren’t removed by the age of one, I would’ve been blind. I had my first surgery at 5 days old, and my second one at 12 days. As rare as …
Ashlynn was diagnosed with amblyopia in April of 2013. Amblyopia is a condition where the optic nerve poorly sends or fails to send any vision to the brain. After a length of time the brain can stop sending signals to the eye completely. So it was very crucial that we caught the condition when we …
