Bad News About Jaylen's Eyesight

Quick history of Jaylen's eyes:

  • We thought he had a lazy eye at 6 months, but really had severe myopia (nearsightedness)
  • At 12 months he was put under anathesia so they could examine his eyes because they thought he Glaucoma and might be losing his eyesight, but he was ok
  • At 18 months his eyes were still getting worse and we knew he would need glasses
  • At 2 his eyes were doing ok and he wore glasses all day everyday
  • At 2 1/2 nothing had changed, we thought we were in the clear
Unfortunately, now at 3, his eye doctor is very concerned.  His eyesight has gotten worse again, and he says there is severe optic nerve issues in his right eye.  There is a lot of pressure building (a sign of Glaucoma).  He may lose sight in that eye. We go back in 3 months and he may get an eye patch so they can at least get his left eye to stop getting worse.

My poor baby, he just can't catch a break...
