Its All In The Eyes

Eyes are a really miraculous invention. They open up the world so you can see everything AND in varying shades of hues and contrasts. The truth is there are very few people who at some point in their lifetime won’t ever require eyeglasses. Even for someone like me who even at age 32 has 20/20 in each eye, its going to be inevitable that I will need them.

Most of my family wear them, or are supposed to be wearing them. My son and husband both have prescription glasses but rarely wear them.  I have to fight my son to wear them and now that he is 13 its even worse. I am pretty sure its time to think about contacts for him since I can’t trust his eyes not to get worse.

My daughter got her first pair of glasses before she was even 2 years old. They thought they could fix her strabismus but instead she had to have surgery. She has to wear them for reading still its just very slightly weak but other than that she is good. I was so scared to have to puther through surgery but she was amazing. And her eyes are perfectly straight now thanks to it!

I have been thinking about ordering glasses online because I heard you can get a pair for under 50 bucks! Our eye docs office charges an arm and a leg for cool looking glasses and we don’t have that kind of money so we have to settle for mediocre. Which is probably half the reason our son won’t wear his glasses. He wants to look cool. I found a code to share with my readers that will save an extra 10% off at glassesusa.com: mommy10 . It looks like they have a Facebook page too! http://www.facebook.com/GlassesUSA.

Lesson to be learned. The environment and natural fatigue over time are going to affect your eyesight so try to take care of those eyes when you are younger to help slow the process as you age. Wear sunglasses and visit your eye doc year yearly!
