Too Painful

Today's eye testing was too much for Bebo. He went to the eye doctor to have an ERG performed. Unfortunately when they placed the contact in his eye it was too much. If you'd like to view how they go about this procedure you can check out a video at the bottom of this page.

After they place the three main leads on him as well as the dilating drops we all sit in the dark for 20 minutes. Then the numbing drops are placed in his eyes by the use of red lens flash lights. (remember we are sitting in a dark room) After that is when they place the contacts in. Or should I say try.

He did great! They were all so impressed with how well he did. Unfortunately we will have to wait a VERY, VERY long year to repeat this test again, all the while worrying. *IF* insurance pays for genetic testing we may find out this fall.
