looking well

A visit to Optos to get Maisie's eyes checked was the main chore of the day.

It was good news - the pictures show that Maisie's eyes are looking well. The blood vessels are growing out around the retina and giving a much better peripheral vision than if she'd had the lazer treatment. It looks like Maisie will need no further treatment!

It's very exciting how well Maisie's eyes are reacting to the treatment she was given. There was a photographer there to take pictures of what was happening for the Health Service - when we receive copies we will post some well chosen ones.

We can't let you see the pictures of Maisie's eyes as they are the first pictures of ROP and they will need to be presented in a paper written by the Doctor before we can release them to the public eye!

The Eye Doctor is extremely pleased with the outcome of the treatment. This will hopefully make a big difference to how Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) is treated going forward. They will continue to monitor Maisie's eyes every fortnight to watch the progress.

Maisie in her own wee way is creating history!
