Eye exam

Rion went this morning to have his eyes examined and everything looks good! The radiation oncologist had recommended that we do this to check for any changes in vision both now and in the next few months when the delayed side effects of radiation treatment may occur. The optometrist did say that he has astigmatism in his left eye but it's very possible he has had it for quite some time and it's not necessarily a side effect from treatment. The astigmatism is very slight, definitely not bad enough to warrant glasses or surgery. Rion went ahead and scheduled a follow up exam for 6 months to so we can check for any changes in his vision. We are very relieved to know his vision has not suffered since this was one of our major concerns with undergoing radiation treatment!
