Four, Better then Two
Today was a special day for Max. Today was his first of many days of wearing glasses.
Unfortunately for us, he has a different idea. Getting him to wear the glasses is going to be a struggle, and after only an hour we came to the conclusion that the frames are probably not the right ones for him, or at the very least need some adjusting. They just don’t fit tight enough, but it was kind of hard to determine that while we were there since he wouldn’t wear them for more then a second. It wasn’t until later when we were able to distract him that he wore them for a few minutes.
After the visit we took them to McDonalds for their first visit to the play area.

Max Eye Update
Max playing on the floor while waiting for his pupils to dilate. On Monday I took Max to see the pediatric eye specialist to verify that he needs some help. The visit was a long one for him (over 2.5 hours) but overall he did very well and didn’t cry too much until the end when he was getting fitted with glasses. But even then he took it all pretty well.
The doctor dilated his eyes and was able to confirm that there was a fairly large focal difference between the two eyes. The large difference between them is more of the concern then the actual vision problem, since babies of his age are often farsighted. His tests show that Max is about a +3 in one eye, and a +6.5 in the other.
So… he does need glasses, which we have already ordered. They’ll be in this weekend – and then the struggle to keep them on his face will begin.
