I've worn glasses since I was ten...I've not taken them off, for I love to see what is going on around me..though I take them off alot when I read (bifocals tend to mess up the vision, ha, ha). He will do great with them, he will enjoy really "seeing" everything.

My middle ...All three of my children wear glasses. My middle daughter got her first pair at 2 years old. She had been seeing a Ped Optomotrist since two weeks for a <br />lazy eyelid. At her two year visit the eyelid had "miraculosly" healed but her <br />Astigmatism was so bad she was nearly blind. God was surly watching out for her!<br />The first day she wore the glasses she came home and looked at a basket of books for no less than 3 hours. I cried. She was missing so much and I had no idea.<br />Last year my five year old at her checkup found out that her one eye had an issue that would have caused her to go blind without glasses. Again I felt like a bad mom.<br />Her reaction "Yeah I get to be like the rest of the family and wear glasses!"<br />Isn't it amazing how wonderful the world is when we can really see!Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10552826430967783650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14642592.post-48500660031998387462010-07-01T09:43:55.473-04:002010-07-01T09:43:55.473-04:00Don't feel bad at all!

My own wonderful and attentive mother didn't know that I needed glasses until it was figured out that I was getting headaches from squinting in school. <br /><br />I never said anything about not being able to see well- I thought that was just how the world looked!Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09838453436192892047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14642592.post-29960996227053548712010-07-01T09:32:43.259-04:002010-07-01T09:32:43.259-04:00My daughter, age 4, got her glasses this spring. ...My daughter, age 4, got her glasses this spring. She failed the screening done by the health dept. at her preschool. I figured she was just being shy and didn't speak loud enough but took her to the eye dr anyway. Turns out she has refractive amblyopia - she couldn't see out of her left eye! It's been this way since birth. :( She was running into walls, tripping on stairs, etc but I attributed it to not slowing down and being a girl. She hasn't had one run in with a wall or stairs since she got her glasses. She keeps them on all the time - she loves them.<br /><br />I'm sure P will love exploring the world with his new glasses. :)Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00990251611530896049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14642592.post-12469988603353153222010-07-01T00:55:47.116-04:002010-07-01T00:55:47.116-04:00Beautiful analogy!

To this day my mother (of 4) says she never felt as bad as she did driving me home with my new glasses seeing everything for the first time. I think children do compensate for what is missing plus never know what they are missing. P will be adorable in the new glasses!Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03999047588357610997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14642592.post-81122298804972613682010-06-30T23:27:47.073-04:002010-06-30T23:27:47.073-04:00Congrats P on getting glasses!

You P may be nearsighted, and you may have missed the signs but I know by reading about your sweet family that his heart is being molded into an amazing little man. Don't beat yourself up. Looking forward, it is very positive! I hope the transition for him is an easy one. <br /><br />Just a note, I must have an amazon child!

Things slip past us. Your husband doesn't get to spend quite as much time with the kids and is a troubleshooter in his job. He is trained to look at things from a bit different angle. <br /><br />Glad that P is good with glasses. We'll have to see pictures of the new spiffy eyes!Bailey's Leafhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16752350373632902394noreply@blogger.com
