Sierra Can See!

About six months ago, I took Sierra to the eye doctor at the recommendation of her neurosurgeon.  He wanted to make sure that the extra fluid in her brain was not causing pressure and damaging the backs of her eyes.  The health of her eyes looked good, but the eye doctor said that she was very farsighted.  I was supposed to bring her back in six months and also pay attention to make sure her eyes weren't crossing.  So, I took her to the eye doctor (actually a different one because our insurance has changed) a couple of weeks ago.  The health of her eyes is still good.  But the doctor said it was time for glasses.  Her eyes are very farsighted and also very different prescriptions from each other.  He said that if she didn't get glasses, the bad eye might quit trying to focus and become lazy.  He also said that at her age her prescription will likely change every several months, so she goes back in June for a follow up.

It is very obvious that she can see so much better with her glasses.  She keeps picking up things, looking at things, and crawling towards small objects.  She's done pretty well with keeping the glasses on as well.  I've been surprised at how easy the transition has been.  And isn't she cute?
