Rollerblading, swimming, snorkeling, fishing, riding bikes, and video games are just a few things that Kimberly loves to do. She also does great in the classroom. So, needless to say, it was a big surprise for Kimberly, her parents, and even her teachers to find out she had a serious problem with her eyes. Her right eye was found to have the indications of a significant opacity and a myopic refractive error resulting in anisometropia. At Kimberly's age, prompt treatment of both of these conditions was very important. Kimberly underwent surgery to remove the opacity (a cataract) and her doctor prescribed glasses and patching for the refractive error. Within a few short months, Kimberly's vision in her right eye went from 20/200 to 20/50. Throughout
the whole time, Kimberly was very brave and thought of only one
thing, "getting her eye fixed".
Kimberly's
mom, Lori, occasionally calls Vision Research with an update and
continues to express her appreciation for the screening program
that came to her daughter's school. |
