New Specs For Her Peepers

Abby got new glasses on Tuesday and I think they look so good on her! They really make her eyes stand out. I can't believe she's been wearing glasses ever since she was in preschool!

As you may recall, we tried diligently to get her fitted for contact lenses several months ago with no luck. She has a severe astigmatism, which makes it hard to find just the right pair. Some she tried felt comfortable to her, but made her vision blurry. Others were on the borderline of being painful for her to wear and they caused her vision to fluctuate. We're going to get another opinion sometime this summer. For now, though, I think she looks so beautiful and grown up in her new specs. Where, oh, where did my baby girl go?

Oh my goodness she's precious. I love the new glasses, you're right they really bring out her eyes. It's a flattering look! That's too bad she couldn't wear contacts but at least you were able to find her stylish glasses to wear!

She is so cute! I like her glasses a lot. I wear glasses now, and I am always looking at what other people select. Those are cute on her. She's a beautiful young lady, April. A friend of mine's husband is an eye doctor, and she was told she could never wear contacts yet he got her fitted for them. He's in Florida.

XO,

Sheila :-)

She's beautiful. Glasses are so much more stylish now than what I had to wear at her age. Have you tried toric lenses? They're made for astigmatism.

Abby looks so sweet in her glasses. I used to hate to wear mine out in public but I do now...as my daughter used to say about her glasses, "They are a part of me"!

XO,
Jane

I LOVE the new glasses!!! My eyes need to get checked & I know I'll be back in them so I'm keeping a sharp eye out for some designs... I really like those!

I cant believe how much she's grown up just over the past few years I've been visiting your blog!!! Both of your girls are just so beautiful!

Time flies. She is just as adorable as ever. What a sweetie!

Kaish lost his. If I was a good mother like you I would have already called the place and ordered more. I am a terrible mother because I haven't done a thing yet...except think about it whenever I see a kid with glasses.

First of all, she is cute as a button!! What a doll!

I honestly think that some people are just better suited for glasses. My son (now 16) tried contacts last year and h-a-t-e-d them with a passion! It was a battle to get him to wear them. Actually, it was only one contact as he had one bad eye due to a run-in during middle school P.E.

So, he's now wearing glasses and loves them! I think he looks like a very lovable nerd. :)

BTW, I had severe astigmatism all of my life until I had LASIK and PRK (different procedure per eye). I had something like 20/2000 eyes...way bad. I now have 20/20.

Perhaps, when she gets older, she'll be a candidate!

she is darling. J got contacts this past Summer. I was expecting them to be hard for her but she has done really well with them. i have a severe astigmatism too, i finally found contacts that work for me, after YEARS of not so great vision!

She is adorable in both pics, you have such beautiful girls, April! They take after their beautiful mother:) I have astigmatism too, and I wear contacts, but I hate that I do not see as well with them as I do my glasses.

Hi April!! I LOVE Abby's glasses.. they are a perfect "fit"! I really love your snow pics, too. I have had the hardest time commenting on blogger blogs lately; I hope I can get this comment to go through. I've tried several other times and when I click "Save", the comment just disappears. Maybe today will be my lucky day!

She looks great in her new glasses! Bryan can't wear contacts either. We've tried many times with many different kinds and he just can't do it. I'd love to see him have the surgery! Maybe when she gets older that can be an option for her.
