Crap. I already forgot I was trying to keep up with this thing.
I had my very first patient on Monday. It was a 12 year old little Hispanic boy. He had meridional amblyopia and hyperopia. My refraction was crappier than the previous one so we just kept his prescription the same as last year. I couldn't get a view of his retina because he wouldn't keep his eyes open. Bad photophobia and was falling asleep.
All in all it was a pretty disheartening experience, but I knew it would be rocky going into it. This coming monday I have a 48 and a 51 year old. Should be very different.
Wes called yesterday and gave me some tips on how to get my time down and give drops to kids. Good stuff.
Keepin' on.
