So today was Evan's eye exam. In total we spend about 1 1/2 hours in the doctor's office. Let me be honest, it was not a very fun appointment. Luckily Evan was really really good and only cried during the actual procedure. My husband came with and he couldn't watch when they examined his eyes while I was staring horrified. They stick a metal clamp on his eyes to hold open the eyelids then this next part was quite disturbing to me so you might not want to continue reading....but they then take a metal pencil like object to push his eye on either side so they could look behind/to the side of it. It really was horrifying. Not all eye exams are this brutal so don't get nervous if you have to take your child in. The only reason they had to do this extensive of an exam was because he was so premature they had to check for a disease some premature babies get.
Well, long story short, we went in, it was brutal but Evan's eyes look normal. Woo Hoo!
