After 5 months of therapy and exercises, Rachel had her recheck today. The results? She went from a 6 to a 9 (which is perfect) on her binocular vision, and has normal tracking. The Dr. said to stop doing exercises until she goes back in December to see how she maintains the improvements over time.
One of her favorite vision therapy exercises was using this website. It was nice to have some variety by mixing it in with other things we were doing.
I knew there was a change when I took Rachel to the grocery store with me a couple of months ago. It was the first time she had been there in quite some time. As she looked around at all the food, something must have looked different, because she went on and on about how much better she could see. This is not a 20/20 thing (in fact, her prescription changed from last time) but certainly is a difference in how she is able to use her eyes.
Every week, I have noticed improvements in her school work and handwriting--things that go beyond the normal maturity and learning you would hope to see in the same amount of time.
We're so excited!!
