Kade's Eye Checkup!


This past Saturday Kade had his yearly checkup for his eye with Dr. Keith Busse in Austin. Dr. Busse is one of the very few pediatric ophthamologists around. Kade has what is called Stoabismus in his right eye. Basically, his right eye doesn't move to the right with his left eye; it stays stationary. There is nothing you can do to fix it, just watch that it doesn't get worse. I noticed a difference in his eyes when I would look at pictures he had taken. One would sometimes look wider than the other. Dane has a lazy eye and can't see much of anything out of his left eye. We were concerned that may have been the case with Kade, but it wasn't. Kade's condition isn't really a vision problem. We do, however, go once a year to check his vision in his eye until the age of 9. His appointment went great. He has perfect vision in both eyes, and the eye hasn't gotten any worse. Dr. Busse doesn't expect it to either, so that is good news. Dr. Busse may seem a little strange, but he is a great doctor and great with kids. I recommend him to anyone needing a pediatric ophthamologist.
