Glasses designed by Leah on StoryBook Creator PlusSince being diagnosed with JRA (Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis) Leah has been required to see an opthamologist twice a year to watch for iritis which if left undetected could lead to blindness. Visiting the eye doctor is not Leah's favorite thing. She is extremely sensitive to the light and is hesitant to open her eyes for her exam. For the last 3 years we have been traveling to the Wheaton Eye Clinic, but we decided to try another doctor closer to home. Today we went to Grand Rapids Opthamology to have the brother of one of Tim's buddies take a look at Leah's eyes. While she wasn't as cooperative as I would have liked, she did fine. Her eyes were dialated (which you may notice in the picture) so he was able to get a lot of information. Based on his evaulation Leah doesn't need to go back for another year!
