Glasses Checkup...

We had Kiersten's eye appointment on Tuesday of this week... the eye doctor said her eye is 99% better. She said she was very pleased with how much better it was, than the first time we saw her. She decided that she wanted to change the prescription in the left eye. So we have a new lens for the left eye on order. She said now that she can assess Kiersten with her glasses on, she can see that she was off one prescription strength on her left eye lens but her right eye she believes is perfect. Anyhow...she did say that we are going to keep Kiersten in the glasses. She doesn't need to see her for a year but she wants to keep her in them to make the left eye stronger. She said in the back office that she would grow out of the glasses by her next appointment. At first I took this as growing out of the glasses totally in a year and not have to wear them... but reflecting back on the conversation... I think she meant she would grow out of these glasses by next appointment. Because then when we came out to the front office she said "and remember as she gets older, fisher-price makes way cuter styles." So anyhow I'm thinking that we will just have to order a new pair of frames and lenses at her next appointment in a year!!

Either way...the news I care about is that her eye is getting better. that means its responding to the glasses and that we won't have to have surgery!!! that made my day!!!
