Glasses - Take II

So, Olivia's glass journey has been a litle bumpy to say the least.

After the initial shock/guilt/sadness of knowing she needed glasses, we soon got to see how much better she could see things as well as how adorable she looked in them :)

We initially didn't feel great about our optometrist with Olivia but felt as though the reflection could have been brought on by our discomfort with her needing glasses.

While waiting for her glasses, we noticed her left eye was turning inward more and more frequently. We made an appt to see our family doctor since our optometrist gave us no direction other than the lens prescription. We dissent have a treatment plan and he blatantly denied her left eye was turning inward at all.

Our family doctor, quickly looked at her eye and noticed what we had been noticing, he calmed our fears and recommended a second optimetric opinion because of our lack of info received.

On Thursday, I brough Liv to her new optometrist who I couldn't get over how much we were missing out on at our last visit :( Her first word "did the last optometrist dilate her pupils before testing?" to which I replied, "no, is that normal?" Apparently, no child Olivia's age should have their eyes tested without these drops or the result will be inaccurate.

After two hours with a phenomenally gifted optometrist who related so well with Liv, it was determined that Liv was being undercorrected and not given an appropriate treatment plan.

So, we after having glasses for a week, Liv had to return her glasses to the optician to have the lenses adjusted to te proper strength. We will follow up in 7 weeks and then again in a few months to begin the patching regimen.

I know this sounds like a big complaint...which it is, but at the same time, it is a huge sigh of relief that we went with our gut and didn't stop searching when we didn't feel right! We ended up with an awesome doctor, a referral to a specialist, and a detailed treatment plan to help our baby girl see what she needs to see without strain on her eyes :)

Thank you God for your wisdom! Thank you for Your hand in all of this guiding and directing us through it all :)
