Ann, you also wrote that great list of kid’s books, and it’s nice to read your posts and see what’s to come. It’s funny, as I’ve read more stories about kids and glasses, I’ve thought that we’ve really had it easy. Zoe was old enough to understand that she was seeing better with the glasses, but not quite into the super willful age.

Motherhood, good luck on Monday at the ophthalmologists. Eye surgery is my great fear, too.

Its true, you definitely see more and more very young kids with glasses these days. I think that until recently the less obvious problems like nearsightedness might have been overlooked until the child was school aged. Now, doctors are realizing that even 2 yr olds need that corrected, and so the kid gets glasses.

The thought of surgery of any type for my kids is scary too, I can totally understand why you’re apprehensive. My daughter had to have a minor procedure this spring and now cries anytime she sees a man in a white lab coat (as she did today at the vet, poor guy). I hope everything works out for the best, we’ll keep you in our thoughts on Monday!

It is true that I see more kids with glasses – we were at an amusement park a few weeks ago, and I saw quite a few kids with cute glasses.

One of my fears is not so much with my daughter having to wear glasses; it’s that she has strabismus which still shows itself a little when she has her glasses on (and a lot w/out glasses). We go see the ophthalmologist on Monday for a checkup on her new prescription and to see if her eyes have maintained the same prescription. I do hope that the doctor does not recommend surgery to correct the strabismus. That’s my fear.
