New Glasses

Look who has glasses! Mia has been going to the eye doctor every 6 weeks for her left drifting eye. We've been patching her eye 1-2 times per week. At her last check-up in August, her vision in her left eye had worsened quite a bit and her right eye had also weakened.

He did say that the vision in her right eye wasn't horrible and if both eyes were that vision, she wouldn't need glasses. It was her left eye. He suspects that she'll need eye surgery this fall to help with the drifting. For whatever reason, it has gotten worse. The patching really helped when we did it 5 times per week, but we can't do that forever.

I was pretty bummed when he said she needed glasses. I envisioned her losing them, breaking them, scratching them etc.Mia, on the other hand, was beyond excited. She couldn't wait to pick them out. She went with the most expensive purple glasses Shopko had. I tried convincing her to get a cheaper pair, but she wouldn't budge. Oh well. I figured that if she picked them out, hopefully she'll wear them.
