Getting Glasses

Well, she was right! This summer Leah started mentioning that she was struggling with her vision. She was also complaining of headaches, but it was summer...and it was Leah! She had an regular check-up for school in August. The doctor said she had a slight astygmatism and that it may be helped with glasses but it wasn't necessary. But then in December she was complaining of not being able to see the board at school and struggling with the numbers on the clock. I called the eye doctor and we got her set up with another appointment for Christmas break.

Yesterday we arrived and sure enough, her prescription has gone from a .5 to a 1.0. So glasses it is! I told her it was inevitable. Everyone adult in her family wears glasses except for her Uncle Brian. And the doctor added that shes around the age when it first becomes noticeable because as they get older they begin to read smaller print and the board at school has smaller print too. She was nervous about picking out glasses but I think she did good. I recommended that she get glasses just like mine, since she's my mini me but that was a big NO from her. Can't wait for her to get them in. Doc told her she can't get contacts until she can prove that she can keep her room clean. That could take years, ha!
