Owen Gets Glasses!

A few weeks ago Tim (yes, I am giving him full credit) noticed that Owen was starting to cross his eyes. We called the doctor and asked if that was a problem and she referred us to see a Pediatric Optomologist. Owen had an eye exam and they found he is +3.50 with astigmatism in both eyes. Meaning, my sweet 13-month old needed eye glasses. We are hoping the glasses correct his eyes crossing, if not he will require surgery.

He got his glasses yesterday and for the most part he has been really good with them. It has been very moving as it is like he is taking in the world for the first time – he is now seeing the world in high definition! He has just been looking around at everything, pointing at things and saying, “look” – it just melts your heart.
