Oh Say Can You See!

Well today we went to the eye Dr for Kaitlyn's check-up. Kaitlyn has been wearing her glasses for about 2 months now and they seem to be working!! YAY!! When she started her vision was crazy horrible and her left eye was not really even "on." She has been doing great and it only took about a week or so for her to actually ask for her glasses. Now she says things like "I just cant see without my glasses" lol and will ask to put them on first thing in the morning! :)

Well the Dr reexamined her and her eyes are, technically, BETTER!!! They are both at about 20/50 with her glasses on. So the Left eye has been "turned back on" by her brain and although she doesnt have 20/20 vision and is still extremely farsighted she is getting better. Not sure if I mentioned it before but people who are farsighted are +1 to +2 usually at most but occasionally there are people like K... who is a +7/8!!! So she is VERY farsighted! Anyway, the Dr tweeked her prescription a little bit and we went to get K new glasses today too! We can get them in about a week. Since this prescription is going to be like this for AT LEAST 6 months I opted to pay more for the lenses that dont magnify her eyes. They are expensive but she will look more like a little girl with glasses now rather than a kid with glasses that give her bug eyes lol :) Though she LOVES bugs so maybe she likes that!! hahahaha

So I'll add a pic when we get her new glasses, they are really cute - not the perfect shape I would have liked but they seem to fit her well.
