Charlotte surgery 2 wks

Charlotte was born with bilateral congenital cataracts and had her first surgery when she was 13 days old. Her first two years were rough. She had multiple surgeries, didn’t tolerate contacts for very long, and developed glaucoma in both eyes. But since she switched to glasses and her glaucoma stabilized, she’s been doing beautifully. She’s almost eight years old and despite this tough road, she is seeing quite well, excels in school, and has a variety of talents and interests that keep her busy!

Charlotte’s little brother, Garrett, was also born with bilateral congenital cataracts. He also had trouble with contacts but luckily for him, he has not shown any signs of glaucoma to date. He is just turning two this month and is a very active, goofy, and loving boy.
