Hunter's story

6/8/2021

0 Comments

 
Hunter’s my first child. We don’t have any family history of congenital cataracts on either side. Hunter just drew the short straw. 

He was born with bilateral congenital cataracts. I noticed white dots in his pupils at one month of age, and we saw specialists straight away. We were sent to the children’s hospital where he was diagnosed. A month later he had the cataracts removed. His surgery went well and he started wearing contacts within a week after surgery. He had another surgery two months after the first to clear up some cloud scarring. He’s been doing well ever since. He wears RGP lenses, which we put in and take out daily. 
Hunter’s my little trooper, handling it all with smiles and giggles.
