***I promise, I am not asking for any kind of diagnosis and I will be taking son to eye doctor to ask what could be going on. I am just looking for any info that anyone here might have.
My son has astigmatism with pale pigment of the eyes. HE has very fair skin and both his skin and eyes will burn easily in the sun. He also has SNHL and now has a severe/profound loss bilaterally. His last 3 eye checkups, all in the past 2 years, the doc said that his eye is getting more and more of a football pronounced shape. He is losing more and more vision and having more frequent eye problems. Pain, blurriness and headaches in the eyes.
Could this be more than simple astigmatism. My husband has astigmatism and his never progressed as bad a son's. I am really worried for son as he feels like he will be losing all of his eyesight and hearing and he is only 16 right now.
Any advice would be great. We are trying to get the money together as well as replacement insurance cards for the vision plan to see the doctor again.
