We went back to Dr. Cohen, again, to check Carter's eyes. I haven't noticed him tilting his head, but he has recently started closing his right eye. Just like CC did. About 50% of pictures of Carter he has his right eye closed. Like this.... 
We have been going to Dr. Cohen every other month since September, and no visible signs of strabismus. But, I'm just not buying it. The same eye, the same symptoms, same gene pool. Dr. Cohen did notice an astigmatism in both eyes, but because it was equal he doesn't see any need for glasses... YET. We didn't notice CC's astigmatism until she was 4, and it was only in one eye. So we have to go back another two months and see if anything has changed. I'm hoping because I am so attentive to any changes, that we can cure it with glasses alone, just like CC. Dr. Cohen did mention that if signs of strabismus do present itself soon, that surgery may be needed. But I've heard all this before. Until then, we just hope he doesn't break our glasses.
