Eye scream, You scream, Then I scream again

Okay, the daughter's eye issue.

The girlie has congenital esotropia, fancy words for crossed eyes. Nothing to do with vision (although she may need glasses at some later date, her eyesight has no bearing on her condition) but with eye muscles. Too strong, attached to actual eyeballs in the wrong spots, that stuff.

She had her first surgery at age 1 to fix the regular crossing. This latest gambit was just a month or so ago and that was to fix the eye muscles on the lower corner of her eye. this would stop her eyes from doing this. They don't do it all the time or even most of the time, but it depends on the angle she's looking at stuff. Easy enough to fix. At least according to the pediatric opthamologist that is the expert, right? Right?

Guess what. Right eye, seems fine. Left eye, not so much.
