Esotropia-Glasses

We noticed a few weeks ago that when Maddie was up close to something and really concentrating her right eye would turn in. So we made her a doctor appointment on Thursday, they checked her vision and it was perfect! But they noticed that her eye was turning in. She has what is called Esotropia and the best way to fix it is with glasses and maybe even a patch. The doctor thinks she will need glasses for her early childhood and that should give her eye enough time to correct itself.

So we took her to get glasses at Lenscrafters and she thought that was pretty cool! But really her favorite part is the glasses container because it is black with BARBIE on it. She is having a hard time realizing that they stay on her face, not in the cute container. lol!

We are a little frusterated because when we were getting her glasses, they were shocked that the doctor even decided to have her get them~she said that for some reason military doctors always do this. She was even more shocked at how strong the prescription was! I guess people usually have there kids this young wear a patch or they grow out of it?? So when Maddie put them on she said, "you guys are big!" She also told me that "the glasses make me not see gooder." So we are going to have her wear them a little bit tomorrow and even have her try reading to us so we can see if she is able to read the letters or numbers. Looks like we'll be heading back to the doctor's next week :( Maybe the glasses won't be the best idea~plus it's to much money to waste.
