[tri-med] Re: Lutein & light sensitivity

That's really interesting about Keren's pupils!  Elanor's are very small
and they look irregularly shaped, but I'm not sure if it's that, or just
a darker blue in that part.  I forget to ask our ophthalmologist, every
time we go in!

I'll have to hang onto that link and lutein info, Jennifer.  Keren 
definitely fits into the sensitivity to light category.  One 
weird/interesting thing we've noticed (which would definitely explain 
the sensitivity) is that Keren's pupils don't contract or dilate.  
They're also slightly irregular in shape (not round edges--sort of 
bumpy?).  Anyway, I've been meaning to ask if anyone's run into this 
with their kids, and since we're on the topic!  We haven't seen an 
opthamologist yet, as she seems to see fine and there are other things 
that seem more important to work with right now.  I showed this anomaly 
to her ped, and he said, "Wow!  You're right!" but didn't have any 
explanation.  Thought I'd field it on the list....
