Elijah had his first eye appointment today up in Norman, OK. When Elijah was 2 months old, I noticed a difference in his pupils and immediately began researching this condition, called Anisocoria. In infants, it often disappears by 4 months of age, when the brain and eyes are more developed. When this didn't resolve in Elijah, I requested a referral, as it can be a symptom of a more serious underlying condition. We made our appointment and Dr. Scott evaluated Elijah. I never imagined how one would examine the eyes of an infant, so thankfully, Matt documented the process.

Thankfully, the doctor found his abnormality to be his norm and not a symptom of any other condition. Elijah is a very special 20% of the population with different pupil sizes:) We always knew he was special!
