The kids had an appointment with the ophthalmologist or eye doctor last week. We made it to the clinic after so much hassle to locate it, ending up not seeing one. Why? Because the clinic was so packed even queueing on the special lane (OKU), we had to wait for around 26 patients!
We ended up visiting the private optometrist as Adnin was complaining that she can't see very well. Once checked we found out that she has a lazy eye, with high astigmatism, around 150 and 200 (can't remember which eye). The reason being is that her eyeball is not properly shaped. Her spec's power is only 50.
We went to pick up her glasses last night and she looks good on it. She feels good too, not having to rub her eyes every now and then. Today is her first day in school with the glasses. Quite eager to find out how her friends respond to it.
Aqilah is looking forward to getting eyeglasses too but I told her she will have hers in two years time. In the meantime, she has to eat lots of carrots like rabbits :-)

My elder daughter Yen Ling had eye problem too. But may be not related to Pompe but rather her bad habit of watching TV quite near or in lying down posture. She is suffering from both short sighted and asti. The headache part is she refuses to wear it and never wants to wear it in her class.
