For those of you who haven't seen the pictures yet, Luke got glasses a couple days ago. He's apparently far-sighted, like me (Esther) and Daniel. Also like his uncle Daniel, one eye is worse than the other. The opthalmologist said that the glasses might correct that. In 6 weeks we go back to check. If it's not corrected he'll have to do the patch thing, although they also do a drop instead, just depending on the kid - whichever is easier for the parents to do.
He's doing pretty well with them. He doesn't want to wear them all the time, but we're trying to ease him into it. I don't want him to hate them right from the beginning because of us fighting about them. He does say he can see things better. He told me, "Everything is bigger now!" He can see letters that he couldn't see before because they were too small. We bought 2 pairs, but only have one right now because the lady who was fitting them on him broke one of the ear pieces. Hopefully she's really strong rather than the glasses being fragile, right?

Kirsty had to do the patch thing last year. 2hrs/day, she hated it. They do have some cute ones with pictures on them which made it a bit better. They didn't help her eyes and she is really bad at wearing her glasses. The doc said it can't make her eyes worse if she doesn't wear them so I've given up on the battle of trying to get her to wear them. Hopefully you'll have better luck! Did you just have him routinely tested or did you realize he wasn't seeing things well?
