Our son has IS and just turned 4, diagnosed with IS at the age of 14 months. We have tried everything including vigabatrin. I understand that short runs of vigabatrin usually do not affect eye sight, but they can. Anyhow, we just recently started the ketogenic diet and I would suggest to give that a shot first. It is one of the few things out there that can cure a child with seizures... the other is ACTH. Good luck and God Bless, Sam I just ran across your blog and thought to contact you.
