Tales of Ocular Hypertension

You send your 13 year old to the Eye Doctor thinking it'll be normal and un-eventful.....

Then you realize....  this is your child named Noah ......  nothing is normal and un-eventful with him.

Hubby starts messaging me .... "something wrong with Noah's pressure in his eyes" ....

Great.

GREAT.

g.u.r.e.i.g.h.t.

"They are doing a lot of pressure tests on his eyes"

nothing is ever easy ...

So what's going on?


Other than Noah being SUPER happy .....

The pressure in his eyes is 25 - a little higher than "normal" and concerning enough.

There is a possibility it's early signs of Glaucoma - yes, kids can get Glaucoma ....

He may have to start drops in two months  ....

The Doc thinks it maybe connected to his Mosaic Trisomy 16.   :: sigh ::
