Stable Is Good

Stable Is Good
If you can believe it, it has been almost 3 months since Henry's last eye exam. We are on an every 3 month schedule to ensure the health of his remaining eye. Dr. Denis said that his eye is stable. And we take that as a good thing. We know it is not going to get better but it still can get worse, but it's not. His eye pressure was good, too. (Which means no glaucoma.)
We also had a chance to talk to the eye vet about how Henry experiences the world. He is blind, but he has some light perception. Its sorta like closing your eyes and being able to tell if you are in a well lit room or a completely dark room. You can't make out any shapes or figures, but you are able to get a feel for how much light is in the room. Also, if someone walks on front of you or blocks the light, you will be able to tell.
We suspected this was the case for Henry based on his behavior, but it was good to have the vet validate it. Sometimes, Henry is so on point that it seems that Henry must be able to see something, but in fact he is just getting much better at interpreting his light perception.
We are very pleased that his eye is stable and as healthy as possible right now. Stay strong, Henry boy! #HenryStrong #VisuallyImpairedPug #HenryIsAGoodBoy #GoodPug

I have noticed in pictures, such as the one above, he seems to be taking in the scenery. I realize smells are a factor, but I am certain the light is also a big thing. #YouGoHandsomeHenry.
Wonderful news! I love the way Henry is sitting and looking over his shoulder. He could hear the treat jar opening! #HenryIsAdorableAllDayEveryDay
I love all these good reports from the vet…keep them coming! Look how calmly Henry is sitting there…he is such a good boy:)
Good to hear the good news. Makes sense that he still has some light perception. Btw, love the picture of him looking wistfully out the window. Love the back of a pug’s head!
