Fall 2024

Our little peanut turned 3 months old, and then I noticed his right eye clouding over; going milky white. His eyes had always been little foggy but I had assumed it was a new baby thing. We saw an optometrist the next day, and that night were sent to the on call opthamolgist at the hospital who told us he has Glaucoma, and would see the paediatric team the next day. This condition will affect him for life; a shock to us for sure. We were able to have surgery at Sick Kids within the month to relieve the pressure in his eyes. So far it appears the surgery was a success but only time will tell if the treatment keeps. Soon he will have an eye exam to determine if there has been any damage, if he needs glasses, and what kind of vision he has.
