I couldn't even begin to list the number of things we've learned since starting this journey, but the one thing that matters the most is that when Jack starts looking out of the corners of his glasses, it's time for a prescription change. He wasn't scheduled for another checkup until July, but we were able to get him in much sooner and thank goodness we did. Talk about a growth spurt! His prescription went from a +14 and some change to a +12. No wonder his glasses were driving him crazy.
We are almost in "normal" sized lenses. For once, the optometrist who fills our glasses did not comment that this was the highest prescription he had ever seen. The funny part was that even though we used the exact same frames, EVERYONE noticed that Jack got new glasses. I couldn't believe that the lenses made that much difference.
Back in July for another checkup, and little sister will get her last cataract check then too!
I love to hear how Jack is doing, gives me an idea of what our future holds. I'm so glad to hear everything is all good!
ReplyDeleteJack was the first picture I saw when looking up aphakic glasses and he was such an adorable baby!
Your blog has really helped me over the last 10 months so thank you for sharing. I find myself in some situations with Mylee and it makes me think back to something you wrote. Like today she lost her glasses for the first time! Made me think of Jack and that's what made me check for an update :-)
