Weāre wrapping up Childrenās Eye Health & Safety Month with a very special patient spotlight! š
Meet sweet Icelynn! Her condition was first noticed by her pediatrician during her four-month well visit, leading to a referral to a specialist. At nine months old, Icelynn was diagnosed with Morning Glory Syndrome, a rare condition that affects how the optic nerve is formed and can impact vision.
Now 2 years old, Icelynnās mom says she typically doesnāt notice anything different about her day-to-day. She may occasionally rub her eyes or stand closer to see things, and sheās been wearing glasses from a young ageāwhich Mom says she āloved from the start!ā
Icelynnās mom encourages other parents to āhave a good relationship with your childās doctors.ā Her story is a great reminder of why routine well visits and early identification of potential vision concerns are so important for growing children.
And beyond the glasses, Icelynn is a happy, energetic 2-year-old who loves to sing, dance, and take her favorite Minnie Mouse along wherever she goes. ā¤ļø
Weāre so thankful to Icelynn and her family for allowing us to share her story as we close out Childrenās Eye Health & Safety Month! š
