We’re wrapping up Children’s Eye Health & Safety Month with a very special patient spotlight! 👓
Meet sweet Icelynn! Her condition was first noticed by her pediatrician during her four-month well visit, leading to a referral to a specialist. At nine months old, Icelynn was diagnosed with Morning Glory Syndrome, a rare condition that affects how the optic nerve is formed and can impact vision.
Now 2 years old, Icelynn’s mom says she typically doesn’t notice anything different about her day-to-day. She may occasionally rub her eyes or stand closer to see things, and she’s been wearing glasses from a young age—which Mom says she “loved from the start!”
Icelynn’s mom encourages other parents to “have a good relationship with your child’s doctors.” Her story is a great reminder of why routine well visits and early identification of potential vision concerns are so important for growing children.
And beyond the glasses, Icelynn is a happy, energetic 2-year-old who loves to sing, dance, and take her favorite Minnie Mouse along wherever she goes. ❤️
We’re so thankful to Icelynn and her family for allowing us to share her story as we close out Children’s Eye Health & Safety Month! 👀
