Glasses

Last week I took Liam to the eye doctor. We had noticed that he looked a little cross-eyed whenever he was tired, and when I took him to the pediatrician for his 3-year check up, she said he may need glasses. I was amazed at what the eye doctor was able to diagnose on an uncooperative toddler--but he said that Liam is farsighted and has slight amblyopia. So, Liam had to get glasses, which he has to wear all of the time, and he has to wear an eye patch for 3 hours a day. I was pretty upset at the diagnosis and the treatment, but we are going to do everything we can to get Liam's eyesight as strong as possible. The good news is that he should be able to restore his vision in his left eye (whereas if we'd left it untreated, eventually he would lose his vision in that eye). He may or may not need glasses in the future. We go back in April for a recheck.

I still think he's the cutest boy ever.
