Lo and behold, we went in on Valentine's Day, and our girl needed glasses. Turns out she's far-sighted, which means she can see things better farther away than she can up close. I guess her eyes were working pretty hard to focus on letters. I felt so bad! I suspected maybe a slight vision problem due to some occasional squinting, but had no idea it was that difficult for her.
We picked out frames immediately after the appointment, so there was no time to really let it sink in. Lucy was actually very excited about it, and didn't understand why we had to wait a week and couldn't take the glasses home right then and there! We picked them up the other day, and she has had absolutely no issues with wearing them, for which I am so thankful. I'm not sure what we would do if she didn't like them!
I was really a little bit sad at first to find out she had to get glasses...her sweet little face would be changed forever! But of course she picked purple frames, and I think they suit her quite well, don't you? And the best part is, we can already tell a difference. If this is what it takes, so be it!
