Charlene has a routine eye checkup today. She is awake and alert. The first optometrist requested that I made Charlene sit upright. But my dear gal immediately went into 'meditation mode'. I told the optometrist that putting her back in the pram is better. And true enough, Charlene opened her eyes and was listening attentively to the tv (which was playing Hi-5).
Eye drops were then dripped to dilate her eyes. The eyedrops must be stingy and uncomfortable. Charlene was pretty upset. She made a lot of sounds and was kicking angrily even when she was carried. She refused to cooperate with the second optometrist. The guy asked if he could tape her eyes. He did but it didn't really help, Charlene refused to open her eyes. After much effort, the vision check was finally done. In the doctor's room, Charlene was smiling happily. Maybe she thinks that the doc is playing with her. Anyway, Charlene is a little far-sighted. The doc still can't tell if she can see. Her tear ducts are not blocked. But it is due to other reasons that she will continue to have eye discharges forming into crust everyday.
