Not strabismus, is it?

Heh...unfortunately, my family has had experience with just about every eye condition known to man, from simple nearsightedness up through color blindness and a disorder I can't seem to remember the name of...it's like the retina didn't mature. That's what Ben and Bill have, and it means they're basically legally blind.

I guess I'm lucky to just have amblyopia. Means I don't have depth perception, but I guess since I've never known different, it isn't a big deal.

It's Accommodative Esotropia (I called the wife back) which is apparently a version of or related to strabismus. The glasses should correct it and it's possible he'll grow out of it.

His actually vision is 20/20.

So, there's that. ;-)
