Blake's eye appt. went pretty well. She found no major problems, although did see some mild peripheral (cortical) cataracts. They are not interfering with his vision at this point, so we will recheck again in 6 months to see if they are progressing.

In children they are usually the result of eye trauma or congenital. I have also heard that cataracts are fairly common with genetic syndromes, although not enough is known about PTLS at this point to determine if they are related to his condition or not.

The good news is IF they progress as he gets older there are a couple different options he has as far as surgery goes. Cataract surgery is one of the most commonly performed surgeries and has a very high success rate. So we will keep an eye on it (no pun intended) and pray that it doesn't give him any problems.

Overall all he handled the exam like a champ, from the stinging eye drops to holding still for the doctor, and got some very cool sunglasses to wear home.
