The week before Thanksgiving, the girls and I ran down to the eye clinic to take something to Cory. While we were there, Eden begged to have her eyes checked. After she was done, Cory decided to check Lily too. Her first screening came back inconclusive so he took her into his office to do another test. Sure enough, it showed that she needed glasses. We didn't have time to dilate her eyes that day, so we made plans to come back the next week for her full exam.
We went back the next week and she did great during her exam. We picked out two pairs of glasses- one pink and one brown- and started talking to Lily about wearing glasses.
Her new glasses came in two days after Christmas. We were very worried about how well she would wear them but she has done great! She usually puts up a little bit of a fight a couple of times a day, but for the most part, she wears them without complaint. Her prescription is pretty strong and I think she realizes just how much better she can see with her glasses on. I'm so thankful that we caught it early and that she can now see clearly! (Just one example of what she can now see... the day after she got her glasses, she was watching cartoons with Eden and said, "Look at the rabbits. They have eyes!".)
