We all had our eyes checked this week. Princess, I Want A Pair Of Glasses made out well, she did have a slight astigmatism, but at this point, the Optomotrist said it was nothing to worry about. I made a Toddler Eye Test a few years ago when Princess I Can’t See was squinting to see the television. Check it out.
Myself, on the other hand… I’m at -10 now. To put things into perspective, the giant “E” isn’t legible at -4. I’m pretty much blind and will be serisously considering laser eye surgery.

Yes – My oldest is 5.5. She’s been 3x and now wears glasses. Since having my last kids my prescription has dropped from +5.5 to +4.5ish. Still can’t see that big E, but I’m getting closer.
WOW, your prescription is better… that is amazing. Hoping mine will do the same
I didn’t think it was possible
When I put on my new glasses it felt they were WAY underpowered (and that they were WRONG when they tested me). Now if I pop on any of my old pairs they make me dizzy.
I would love if they’d correct to the point where I can at least squint to see the alarm clock in the middle of the night/early morning on the other side of the bed.
I haven’t had an eye check in ages.. So far my kids all don’t need glasses and I hope that it remains at that.
lucky, I do think it’s genetic
I take the girls about every 6 months or so, eyes are terrible in our family! That being said, I would love to have lazer surgery, but the thought of surgery on my eye freaks me out way too much!
hubby is the same… he can’t go through with the surgery. I would in a heartbeat, but it’s so darn expensive for my eyes…
My 9 month old son’s going to his first Optometrist appointment next month. A little nerve-wracking, but I’ll feel better he’ll be getting checked!
9 months? That is very early. DD went at 3. Hope all is ok with him
My hubby, daughter and I all have glasses – my 7 yr old daughter’s script has changed 3 times in the past year! My 4 year old son somehow has been blessed with perfect vision and desperately wants glasses – you can’t win!
WOW,, that’s a lot of changes in a year. I think it’s genetic..,. fingers crossed for your son! Weird how they all want something they don’t have isn’t it?
none of us have glasses… yet!
That’s amazing Tara! It’s not too often you see an entire family without them
Do you feed them lots of carrots?
I hate the part where they shoot air at your eye!
YES.. that puff! Luckily, I passed that part too & they don’t do it with kids
I’m considering laser eye surgery too. I’ve worn glasses and/or contact lenses sense I was 12. :/
ugh… wouldn’t it be amazing to wake up in the morning and see?
My eyes are stabilized now, my son gets worse every six months and my daughter will need glasses, just not yet.
I’m hoping mine are done changing.. I’m nearly 33… next step should just be bifocals..
-10?? Wow. yes, I’d be considering the surgery as well. I’m about -3 ish I think. About to get bifocals. Sigh
ugh,, bifocals… those will come soon enough. thankgoodness for the ones the transition bifocals
I’m at -5 and thought that was blind. My hubby was at -6 and did PRK..he sees perfectly now. So jealous.
AH… good for him. I’ll have to save my pennies.. I mean nickels.
I need to get my middle dude in for an eye test soon!
is he showing signs of squinting? Try the at home test Jen
See how he does
I really should do this. Put it on the to do list
It’s important and in most provinces, covered by insurance for young kids.
Awhhh, look at how good she is being, looking right into the machine and holding her little stuffed animal so tightly! Too cute!
YES.. that is Lady Bug Blood… what a name eh?
My oldest daughter had her eyes examined when she started school.
Be careful, laser surgery has its risks!
My husband and I have glassses, so far the kids are good
that’s early to get a seeing test! i hate those little machines where they stick the air in your eye!
Your daughter is very brave sitting in that chair with her head in the right position and her eyes directed straight ahead. After being traumatized with the air-puff glaucoma tonometer test after repeatedly having to suffer through it for years, I refuse to get any kind of those tests done. I’m such a wimp, but I probably couldn’t hold still long enough for that test to be effective.
My husband and myself are currently looking into lasik surgery. We think that more than likely both our children will need glasses at a young age.
Look at her! She is so brave. I am trying to picture my daughter there… she would be losing her mind.
Eye health is important!
awe, what a cute photo with the stuffie <3
