Hi Danielle. Your daughter has been through a LOT in her young little age! I know it is terribly hard to discover how little she sees when the good eye is patched. We have been there and some times, I simply gave in because I felt like I was torturing my child by blocking vision in the good eye. On hind sight, I regret giving in because now she is older and it is harder to fix her amblyopia now than it would have been when she was younger. So, as a word of encouragement, persevere with the patching!!! It will pay off in the long run and it may be only months from now that her vision will be almost as good as the better eye! The earlier you can improve vision the better the chances will be that your little Mia will not have developmental delays due to the lack of depth perception, etc. It took our Ellie 20 months before she felt safe enough to take her first steps. I thought we would get a permanent spot at the ER before it would be over with.
