Sam went to the optometrist today for the first time.
I didn't dream he would be only three.
Thank Goodness for Prevent Blindness Indiana -
the screening folks that came to Sam's preschool.
The estimated him at 20/60.
Thank Goodness for Dr. Wagler who would see him so young.
I was so very proud of Sam today. He was so big.
He followed all instructions well.
And
He knew all his letters and numbers {the ones he could see, that is}
Dr. Wagler says he is 20/50 {and knew more than most kindergartners...}
Yep, he has astigmatism.
We will not do glasses yet.
We will monitor {wait and see}
50/50 chance for glasses in the future.
Just like mama.
Were there signs?
Looking back, probably yes. Squinting and holding things close, sitting near the TV.
More recently he has been doing this {photo above}
and closing one eye when he points to something.
We will continue to watch him closely.
