Eye Patching for Rb - Part 1

Because I was born with Lazy Eyes which developed into a squint, I was cautious that my children would not face the same fate as me. I pay extra notice of their eyes so that if there's any early sign of lazy eyes, the doctors can rectify it quickly. Pb escaped the fate of having lazy eyes but for rb, we noticed it when he was about 2+ years old. He was referred to KKH Eye specialist.

Rb had to do eye patching. Initially, he was v reluctant and whiny about it, then after showing him a picture of himself with a squint, he realized his condition and said that he didn't want his eyes to be liked that. Total, he had to patch for 4 months, 2 hours daily. He was v good boy, he did it willingly and I encouraged him by giving him a weekly chart. After first week, i bought him his choiced Lightening McQueen toy. He was ecstatic! Just 2 weeks og patching and we can see improvement already! When he is tired, his right eyeball does not drift so much to the right anymore. I pray that God, who has created Rb wonderfully, will extend His blessings to restore his eyes to perfection! In God we trust!! To God be the glory!! :)
