A New Look

Well, it was time again to have our eye exam and this year we had a surprise... Amelia needed glasses?!! What...we were so shocked!! Even though she has wanted to have glasses like the rest of her family for a couple years now. So, when she went in for the exam the other day during the pre-screen she said that she couldn't read some of the stuff. So I discreetly let them know that she might be trying to get glasses and they immediately understood.


Once she went in to see the Dr. for the full exam, the same details were communicated and she said that was very common with kids. Everything was going well until she had to cover her right eye. She turned her head to the side and it seemed like she was trying to get some help from her right eye to read the letters with her left eye. The Dr. asked if she had been doing this at home? I hadn't noticed but, I wasn't looking for it either...you know what I mean?


Long story short...her left eye needs some assistance. It may be transitional...it may not. We'll go back in a month to see if they help or if she outgrows them.

In the meantime, we are very blessed to have two sweet girls who are so happy in their adorable glasses. :)


Here are my new ones...sorta boring but I didn't really see any frames that I liked. Praise God for vision insurance...a huge blessing!!

By the way, for those of you that wear glasses- what are your thoughts on the anti-glare coating? It has always been an extra co-pay for us, one that adds up quick. Do you think it makes a big difference...driving at night, computer time or for kids in the classroom, reading ?
