Our heart sank yesterday with the findings. We did not even realise this set of beautiful active eyes of our little girl almost can’t see since she was born. She is having very rare high degrees of Hypermetropia (long sighted of 950 degree) which can cause Ambylopia (lazy eye) if not treated by 6 years old. We were both too silly not to suspect anything amiss earlier when our girl has such behaviour:

• over timid and got frightened at very slight sound (she must have extremely sensitive hearing)
• always look at things too near (be it books or computer)
• walk tip toeing until now (as she can’t even see the level of the floor or balance herself)
  
• does not enjoy TV or cartoon much since young, even though with the best theater seating in cinema.
  
• have tendency to vomit so frequently (probably due to dizziness??)
  

Blamed it on us for agreed to our gynae to induce her delivery as soon as she reaches 36 weeks (when she stopped moving)? Blamed it on that this baby stopped growing in womb as my amniotic fluid was too low? Blamed it on the fact that I failed to carry her healthily that she was born an IUGR baby? Blamed it to stupid inherited eyesight genes which we still couldn’t figure out who else had it besides her little cousin?

I see little kids and even a baby with a tube from throat that seek help on eye treatment when we visited the Paediatric Ophthalmologist in ISEC yesterday. My mind is blank now. I cannot think of anything anymore. Even the babies in my womb now are having a high risk of the same problem and will required to go through the eye test by the time they reaches 3 month-old.

Hubby is too sad by the facts. Our girl has been living in a very blur world for 4 years of her live. She has not even seen mummy’s face clearly until today. Hubby said we should not have kids if we are not medically fit to have babies or be parents after all.

I am closing the comment as I could not bear to read any comment now. However I understand your kind concern. We will seek a 2nd opinion and do another test with another Ophthalmologist tomorrow.
