It was a matter of time...

Well, it took almost 3 weeks for them to be made but we finally got them. Evan is officially one of us - visually challenged! His teacher Ms. Donna noticed he was squinting and rubbing his eyes a lot and more obvious - holding his books too close to his eyes.


We took him to an Opthamologist and after two hours and several tests he was diagnosed with a Amblyopia - a form of "lazy eye" in his right eye.


Kurt wanted to take him to an eye surgeon instead of just an optician because he knew more likely than not, Evan had inherited his own vision issues.

We will be returning at the end of next month for a follow up to see whether or not they need to do some other form of therapy or make any corrections to the glasses. For now, he is very excited to have his new "attachment" to his face and trying to remember to use both hands to take the glasses off and to not touch the lenses with his fingers. The latter being harder to remember being five years old and all!!
