Spectacles

Well today we took Spencer to Children's and got his eyes tested and examined. We have been worried about him for some time. His letter recognition and writing his name have been a real struggle at pre-school and he also has had some discipline problems as you will know if you've read previous posts. Sure enough he has astigmatism but much worse in his left eye. That explains why his head is always tilted when watching TV and why he has been unable to focus on letters/writing. He now has glasses and we are optimistic he will soon catch up. Hopefully he won't have to end up wearing an eye patch which is something the doctor brought up as a possibility as his left eye has been neglected in favor of the better right eye. I think he looks very cute in his new specs! Although his poor eyes are still dilated in the pictures.
