Shortly after Hudson was born we noticed that his eye looked a little "off". We weren't sure if it was a lazy eye but we did ask the pediatrician and he said that we should give Hudson until the age of 2 to see if this would be something that he would grow out of. This is definitely something that has not gone away so we were referred to a ophthalmologist. Hudson and I met with the doctor last Wednesday (Sept 15th) and were a little surprised at the news we received. The doctor feels Hudson has intermittent exotropia, a muscle imbalance that causes the eye to drift outward. This condition would require surgery to correct. Since she does not operate on children she referred us to a specialist at the Cleveland Clinic. Our next visit will be October 5th so I'll update with more information after that.
