Since birth Noelle's eyes have had a "hazy" appearance, most newborns have this haze, but her eyes are what one would consider severely hazy. A few days after birth the NICU ordered a ophthalmologist to come and take a look at her eyes to see what was going on. After a quick look at the eyes they decided that they needed to begin an eye drop regimen to help reduce the pressure in the eye, which in return should also help clear up the haze.
A week later the ophthalmologist came back again to reassess the situation, her eyes appeared to be clearing some, but the pressure still remained the same.
Yesterday, we had another exam done, they concluded that we will be going up to Children's Hospital LA (CHLA) for a consult and to see what they will want to do. Based on what our current ophthalmologist has said it is likely that they will do a corneal lens replacement, but we will see how that appointment goes. Appointment should be sometime next week!
