When I came in, my first foster mom took me in right away to see the doctor. It turns out I have what is known as a bilateral entropion, which is a fancy way of saying my eyelashes were growing INTO my eyes.
The doctor says I need surgery for this, but put in a temporary tacking suture in the corner of each eye so my eyelashes aren't turning into my eyes now. This has helped tremendously and it is no longer painful to open my eyes.
If you look real close, you'll even see these little black stitches by the corner of my eye in some of the pictures my foster mom has been taking that she will post here. I am so amazed with this new world that I can see!
