Tori with Glasses

Victoria and Danielle recently had their annual checkups (November birthdays, 4 and 8 respectively). I’ve been concerned about getting Danielle an eye exam since she has relatively bad genetics as far as her eyes are concerned.

I got glasses when I was 8. Me and my brothers are all pretty blind. For those that don’t know me with glasses or contacts, I did the Lasik thing over 10 years ago and it was totally life changing.

So given my history, it seemed like time to check Danielle’s eyes.

Imagine my delight when the eye doctor said her eyes were totally fine.

We also scheduled an appointment for Tori since we were checking Danielle. Obviously we have no clue on Tori’s genetics (if you don’t read this blog, Tori is adopted). But she’s never given any indication that she has any vision issues.

Imagine my surprise when the doctor says she has astigmatism in both eyes and needs glasses. At four.

The great thing about a four year old is that getting glasses sounds like a great thing. My wife took her to pick them out and she only cried when she found out she couldn’t take them home right away.

Today we picked them up. She looks super cute and loves them. Here’s a not very good picture of her out to dinner with them.
