Several weeks ago, both kids had shown symptoms of poor eyesight or straining. Colin had some very obvious ones, so we took him in first & he came out with ordered glasses.
Then Meli went in a few days later with these ordered:
Colin's eyes are fairly bad (20/70 and 20/100) and is nearsighted. I was surprised by how high his numbers were. Thhe doctor said that this could have happened quickly with a recent growth spurt. He has transitioned very nicely with them.
Meli eyes are not near as high, but due to a bad astigmatism in one of her eyes and being farsighted she has been only really using one of her eyes to see. That has led to straining it. Thankfully all is fixable and with glasses, maybe some of her moodiness will subside.
She has transitioned not as smoothly. Hopefully that changes, because she is the one that really needs to be wearing them all of the time. She lost her first pair within the two weeks of getting them! It bothers her when she gets sweaty and the glasses slide on her nose. So, during recess she asked a friend to put them in her overall bib pocket. Of course, they fell out somewhere on the elementary school playground. We have the coolest vision center ever! We were able to replace the glasses at only the cost of the frames!! That saved so much money. Since our insurance already covered one frame.
So, now she has her second pair. Fingers-crossed that our kindergartner learned her lesson!
