Glasses

So we both noticed that when Adam tried to look at things up close, his left eye crossed more than his right. Can you tell in this photo?

We took him to the pediatric opthamologist (3 month wait time, btw), and found out he has

"lazy eye."

For those of you who don't have impaired vision, you will notice he's flipping the bird in this picture. For those who are visually challenged, you can just enjoy what we call "blankie head."

Technically, his right eye is 20/40 and his left eye is 20/400. For reference, 20/200 is legally blind. This indicates that the brain has "shut off" that eye, since it's too much work to use it. Don't worry, this condition is treatable with . . .

Glasses!

The best part of these glasses is that they have FLAMES on the sides!

And they make his eyes look really big (which we think is cute!).
