And Anna - that's really good to know what kinds of things are a challenge to you without the glasses. I'll certainly update once we've gotten them for her.

The formerly straight lines and angles of life are now a bit wavy and curves are even more curvy. It is stressful on the eyes to compensate for that when sending the messages to the brain, so wearing the glasses to correct helps the brain and eyes work more in tandem. If she really hates the "necklace" and she likes the glasses, just have hear wear them all the time. I got my first glasses around her age and rather than risk losing them, my parents just had me keep them on. It was so cool just to see clearly that I never gave it another thought.

I also have 20/20 vision. The lens of my eye has an abnormal curvature. As such, certain letters look the same to me, ie P, F, T and then E,B, i, l. People's faces also look a little skewed to me so the glasses help with that. While it is a pain for Miss Sammi to need glasses and getting her to wear them, once she realizes how much easier it is to read, I think she will prefer to wear them.Anna Theurerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06937391910402532608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1665234671536662968.post-69914067467639785292014-02-25T14:14:56.022-05:002014-02-25T14:14:56.022-05:00Our eye doctor says the same thing but hasn't ...Our eye doctor says the same thing but hasn't made the recommendation yet. Cate barely allows pony tales I can't image trying to get to her keep on glasses. It is great that Sammi is into it already! She'll be adorable.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05629881773181999504noreply@blogger.com
