Pseudostrabismus
Yeah, whatever! Praise God, this is what they diagnosed Jeremiah with today at the opthamologist. Basically, because of the shape of Jerry's face, his right side being more rounded than his left, he appears to have lazy eye, but does not.
His pediatrician thought he had lazy eye in his left eye at his six-year check-up a few weeks ago and she referred him to the opthamologist. He said it was a common misconception in kids whose faces are shaped like Jerry's.
Personally, I never noticed either his left eye looking different or the shape of his face being different from one side to the other. Either way, thank you Lord that Jerry does not have another diagnosis to add behind his name!
And the thought of glasses, surgery, or even an eye patch made me cringe. Poor Jeremiah is clumsy enough. We don't need to add an eye patch and obstruct half of his vision on top of it.
They did have to dialate Jerry's eyes for the test today and he was not at all happy with that procedure, but the consolation was in the cool sunglasses he received afterwards!
