Thursday morning

Matt's appointment with the eye doctor went pretty well yesterday. They took pictures of his retinas and everything is fine - there's no swelling or broken blood vessels from the accident, so he thought Matt's vision would clear up eventually.

The doctor was trying to fit him with prisms over his glasses that would make the two images he sees come together. However, Matt's aphasia was causing too much difficulty in determining when the prisms were actually working and if the images were closer together or further apart. He figured it was worse to have the wrong prisms than nothing at all, so we'll have to go back later once Matt can communicate more clearly.

He did put tape over one lens of Matt's glasses which will block out the extra image for right now while still allowing light into his eye. So no more patch - which Matt isn't sure is so great. I think he was used to it and isn't happy about adjusting to something new. Then this morning I gave him just his glasses and asked him how many of me he sees and he said "one, but you suck." :-)So I think he's just fine.
