I had a 26 year old African patient right before lunch who didnt speak English well and said she had difficulty seeing at a distance even with her thick thick glasses she got prescribed at Wills. The lenses were poking out like a ledge from her frames. She said school was on hold bc she couldn't even up close to read. GAH. LUNCH IS LITERALLY A HAIR AWAY, RIGHT AT MY FINGERTIPS. MY PRECIOUS BREAK TIME..!!
...
I dilated her anyway to relax her eyes.
I'm sure she has amblyopia due to her high hyperopia...but gonna try making her see as best as she can so she can learn and read!! Ugh, I always take sight for granted, even though I experienced CRVO. Something as simple as reading is difficult for her even though she has all the potential to learn...
