Eye therapy for Sylvia

When Sylvia had her yearly eye appointment this past summer, there were some indications of problems.  Dr. W recommended Sylvia read without her glasses over the summer, and scheduled an appointment for her to be re-evaluated a month after school started.

After school started, Sylvia mentioned having some troubles reading and seeing.  We went for that follow-up appointment a couple weeks ago, and Dr. W re-tested her vision.  She suggested bifocals, and Sylvia said, "Please, no!"  When we explained in further detail the kind of struggles Sylvia had been having, Dr W said it sounded like a tracking problem and immediately had her do some other types of testing.  Sylvia did pretty poorly on those tests, and they indicated that she has a couple problems going on that need therapy.

Yesterday afternoon we met with Katie, the therapist, for some more evaluation and explanations of the exercises in Sylvia's therapy packet.

It wasn't exactly fun for Sylvia, but she is anxious to get going with the exercises if they will make a difference.  She has noticed it affecting her test grades, so she is willing to do what it takes to correct the problems.

She is doing her exercises in the morning before school.

I'm praying the therapy will help her!
