We saw the opthamologist again today. Basically, there's no news to report. M's eyes don't turn all the time, so there's no point operating, as there's nothing consistent to correct. Her eyes also may end up turning out if we operate, though if we really wanted to, there's a Dr in LA who would operate on her in her current condition ...
For now, it's a waiting game to see if perhaps M's visual development is a bit slow and will correct itself, just a bit later than it normally does for other kids. The Dr has had patients who've been up to a year old before their eyes have corrected themselves. Although, the older she gets, the less likely it is that they will correct and stay straight all of the time. M's eyes seem to be otherwise fine. We go back in about 8 weeks for another checkup ...
