My Son Has Microphthalmia

Hi my name is Sherry and my son's name is Collin.

Collin is 7 months old and was born with Microphthalmia with cysts in both eyes (bilateral). He has some vision in his right eye but needs to wear glasses.

We put glasses on him when he was 2 months old and he has really improved since then. He has a prosthesis in his left eye because the eye is so small.

We began going to the Ocularist when he was about 1 month old. His eye looks great, people do not know he has a prosthesis. He does everything any other 7 month old would do.

He is crawling and climbing on everything and is a very happy and energetic little guy. Collin is doing great and continues to surprise us everyday.

I know how frustrating it can be to be going through this and feel like you are the only one who is dealing with anything like this. It has really helped me to talk with other people with similar situations.

I put together a web site with Collin's story on it. It is not the greatest site but I hope to improve it and add information as I find it.

Please feel free to check it out or e-mail me. I look forward to hearing from you.

Thank you,

Sherry
