Today Baby Frank had his first eye doctor appointment with my good friend Katie Greiner at the Ohio State University. OSU recommends that babies have their first eye exam at about 6 months... so being that baby frank is now 6 months and can get his eyes checked by Katie with the Infantsee program... why wouldn't we go??? (Shameless PLUG: If you have a baby ages 6 months-1 year and you call OSU at 614-292-2020 you too can schedule your free eye exam for your baby... Katie only works on Thursdays... but there are other doctors too...) The exam took a little less than two hours and he was such a good boy through the exam. She said he has very good vision and it was so interesting to see how they test the vision of infants... Baby frank even had a retinal examination in which his pupils were dilated... and Katie said everything looked good and healthy... she told me that he has a blond fundus... which is rare and probably means that his eyes will remain blue. This also means the interior surface of his eye is very white and that allowed Katie to see all his blood vessels very clearly... they also had a slight concern detecting baby frank may have a mild form astigmatism, and so he should go back for a check-up at one year and not at the usual 3 years... just in case there is a problem we can correct it early! I documented most of his exam.
Checking to see if Baby frank can see... he passed
Eye patch..
Katie checking his right eye
Katie checking his left eye
baby frank liked the spiny thing that kept his focus

Being such a good boy
he cooperated so well! Maybe he is a future optometrist??
