The Ophthalmologist




On the 22nd of February we went on a family outing to Danville. Danville is where the main Geisinger Medical Facility is located. It is about an hour and half from State College. Lucas had an appointment with the Ophthalmologist, Tom Wilson. He was highly recommended by our pediatrition. Lucas has had blocked tears ducts since he was born. It doesn't cause any damage, but he always had these booger eyes, and sometimes when he woke up his eyes were glued shut. Since making the appointment one of his eyes had improved, but his left eye was still blocked, though it seemed to have also improved. Anyway, we went to the Ophthalmologist, he told us that they can do surgery, but they would like Lucas to wait till he was at least a year old. He also told us that we could massage the duct and see if that would unclog it. He demonstrated on Craig how to massage, and then he did it to Lucas. After doing this the doctor said, that he heard a pop and thought that he might have unblocked it. We have not had any more problems with his eyes since, and they are now clean and clear. Now you can see Lucas big, beautiful brown eyes!
