RAnn (F/6) came for eye examination with complaint of blurry seeing whiteboard at school.. and mother reported noticing her rubbing her eyes too. Parents have brought her to see eye specialist doctor/ophthalmologist last week & came in with cycloplegic refraction. Her eyes were still dilated last week, so we asked them to come back this week.
