It’s finally time to share this post! When the pediatrician told me in February that Joules was farsighted in her right eye and that she would need to be seen by an ophthalmologist, I was in complete denial. I remember telling myself that the doctor’s assessment was probably just off and that the eye doctor would tell us that everything was okay. Joules had always acted like she could see perfectly! Well, I was wrong. _ We took Joules to the ophthalmologist where they confirmed something was wrong with her right eye. We then took her to get a second opinion where they again confirmed something was wrong. She is farsighted with accommodative esotropia in her right eye. This essentially means that she has trouble seeing close up and her right eye is slightly misaligned inward sometimes. _ The good news is that we caught this extremely early! The earlier you catch something like this, the better the outcome. The other news is that she has to patch her good eye for 2 hours daily (to strengthen her weak eye) and wear glasses the rest of the time each day. Let me tell you how “fun” it is trying to get a 1.5-year-old to stop ripping off her eye patch and glasses every 5 seconds. 🤪 She will likely have to wear glasses for the next 7 years – until she’s old enough to wear contacts. _ Let me be clear that there is NOTHING wrong with wearing glasses! I actually wear contacts/glasses myself! The apple doesn’t fall very far from the tree.🍎 And I think Joules looks just as beautiful with her new accessory!! I think I was just in denial because, as parents, we never wish for our kids to have ANY hurdles in life. In the end, though, this won’t really matter and I love her JUST the same. 💜 _ I’m sharing this now because this past week was the FIRST time we could get Joules to wear her glasses for more than a few seconds! 🎉 _ When Ames first saw Joules in her glasses, he ran into the playroom, grabbed a pair of sunglasses, put them on, and ran back to her. In essence, Joules has support from her twin, the rest of her family, and hopefully you! _ Please tell my sweet girl how beautiful she looks in her new gear!! 😍💜💕😎🎉 http://liketk.it/2BVaJ liketkit @liketoknow.it
