Full-Time Glasses for Nathan

Nathan and I had our eyes checked today for our yearly eye exams. It seems that Nathan did a HUGE leap this year in his lack of vision. I noticed it a few weeks ago that he was squinting when looking far away. Last year, they took him off of full-time glasses to just wearing them when he needed to see up close, like in class to read and write. It seems that his vision has changed drastically in the other direction. So instead of being farsighted, he is now way nearsighted. His eyes went from seeing fine to being almost as bad as mine. Good grief! My prescription didn't change at all, so I just got my glasses cleaned and tightened. Nathan's will have to be redone on July first, because that is the start point for the insurance to allow us to do that. Fun. For now he will just have to wait. Here is what he will look like in his "new" glasses. He will even have them transition...meaning they will turn into sunglasses when he gets in the sun. I feel that this is so important since we had the "blond fundus" scare. Apparently his retina is very, very pale and they were afraid that it was indicative of vision issues (way more critical than just needing glasses). We took him to be evaluated and the ophthalmologist said he should be fine. I hope we don't have to revisit that issue in light of the new drastic change in vision. We'll see how he does with the glasses. I suppose that it is one MORE thing to talk to the pediatrician about.
