Knowing our family history of vision problems, we had decided that it was time to take Tegan into Dr. Hawkins to see if he too was going to follow the trend and get some glasses!
I was so proud of Tegs...he did a great job at the appointment! He told Dr. Hawkins his letters, let the Dr. look in his eyes, and even got his eyes dilated!
Once they had decided to dilate his eyes I figured that we were definitely getting some glasses! Then when Dr. Hawkins said..."This is terrible" I was sure that he needed glasses! Well it turns out that Tegan is significantly farsighted (can see faraway but not up close.) Right now his prescription is right around +7.50 in both eyes...that is REALLY farsighted! The doctor said that Tegan has likely had to really focus hard to see things normally and that he wouldn't be surprised if he has been having terrible headaches because of it...so sad for him!
We spent awhile trying to pick out some cute glasses for him until he finally declared, "don't put one more pair of glasses on my face Mom!"
I am so sad that he has had this terrible vision for so long and worried about how he is going to take to wearing glasses yet, I am so excited to see what a difference this makes for him!
