Prism Adaptation Test

In preparation for her next eye surgery Lissie had to have a Prism Adaptaion test.  What they do is have us dilate her eyes for 3 days straight and then they make a pair of very strong glasses for her to wear at the doctors office for an hour.  The desire is that her eyes will relax as much as they ever will so that the doctor can get the best measurement possible so as not to over or under correct the position of her eyes.

Look at my little girl.  She's gotten so big since we first started coming here when she was only 16 months old!  I used to have to sit with her and she would always bring "baby."  Now she's such a pro at this she can even tell the techs what they're supposed to do next!

Here she is in her new special glasses and yes I let her wear her pjs to the doctor because I think if you're going to torture your child for awhile, they might as well get to wear whatever they want!

We also gave her plenty of snacks and her favorite "lollilops."

 

Lissie did brilliantly and the doctor was able to get all the measurements she needed.  I'm so incredibly proud of my very brave little girl.  She does everything we ask of her with little fuss and even though she's terrified of another surgery she'll put on her brave face and get through it.  She's so great it breaks my heart.
