The doctor said things went relatively well. They checked Noelle's pressures to ensure the need of "venting" in her eye for glaucoma. Her right eye (the bigger eye) has always had high pressure and was vented to help it drain. Her left eye had good pressure and did not need to be vented!
Doc also confirmed that she does indeed have cataracts, but with the coloboma and glaucoma it makes treating the cataracts very risky. She will not preform that surgery at this time. She feels that it is too risky and wouldn't take properly. So we will continue to be followed by our regular ophthalmologist and decide on treatment and procedure as time goes on. For now we will continue doing her eye drops and getting routine eye checks to make sure her pressure stays low.
Thankful for a good team of doctors and going to meet our new NICU staff now. Hope they are as good as our team before :)
