Eye Doctor Shenanigans

Appointment time: 10:00
Arrival time: 9:50 (AWESOME!) 
Leave time: 12:50 (NOT AWESOME!)

I don't know about all of you, but I'm not fond of spending 3 hours at a doctors office. At least its pediatric so there are toys everywhere. 

We got there on time (Yay!) I had to fill out some paperwork because we haven't been there in a year and a half. We didn't get taken back until 10:30ish, not bad. We get back in the office and the optometrist who does all the fun eye tests. She proceeds to dilate his eyes and sends us back out to the waiting room. Eventually we are taken back again. Not to the doctors office though, to another optometrist we go! She did essentially the exact same things. Back to the waiting room. Finally taken back to the the ophthalmologist's office, where we wait some more.

Doctor Dankner performs his exam. Logan's vision (without glasses) is 20/100, with glasses he is corrected to 20/40. He asked us why we never came back last time for a follow up, which I forgot about, because it too was scheduled last January and never happened because of mom's stroke. Logan has lens opacities, also known as cataracts. Good times. We are scheduled to come back in three weeks to see the orthoptist without having his eyes dilated. We're supposed to have an appointment in three months as well, with Dr. Fiergang to address the cataracts. Dr. Dankner said that he didn't notice any negative progression so that's a good sign. 

Oh shoot, I had pictures to add to this, I guess I'm making another post!
