Eye Visit

My brother and I took the girls Friday for their eye appointment. We took them to Texarkana to a pediatric opthamologist. Since they were preemies we have to get their eyes checked often. He was checking for lazy eyes and crossing of the eyes.

Carlee and Kalee did well. He had to dilate their eyes which makes the third time that they have had their eyes dilated since they were born. Thus the cute glasses in the photos....that they did not keep on. We just covered their heads with blankets when we loaded them in and out of the car.

Both girls are a little more far sighted than normal but it's not bad enough to require glasses at this time. He said since their eyes were not crossing at this time, he wouldn't reccommend glasses now. However in a year from now if their eyes are the same, they will need glasses.

He said sometimes it corrects itself and sometimes glasses are required. However if we start noticing that they cross their eyes at any point, he will put them in glasses at that time.

We are praying that their eyes continue to do well and that we don't have to deal with glasses. However if they end up needing glasses, we feel fortunate that they are as healthy as they are. We can always deal with glasses.
