a visit to the eye doctor….

Posted by sherriknits

I’ve been knitting but I can’t show. When I finish my current project, I need to make my brother a hat for his probable brain surgery. It will be good to have something to keep me busy. I have the yarn and I think I found a pattern today for that. ugh.

The other day we had our annual eye exam. I am not thrilled to say that I did end up with a small scar and it is permanent. When I get my new glasses I will find out how it will affect me. My depth perception is still off a little and this makes me sad, almost crazy, but I do hear that your brain will adjust to the change so I’m planning on that.

When we go to the eye doctor, we always get our 3 appointments together. Poor Tyler. When he did the peripheral vision test, he didn’t understand what he was supposed to be doing. You click when you see a flash of light. He got a few, but he really didn’t get it. I get stressed out trying to do it so I felt for him.

I forgot my camera but I did get a few cell phone shots of Tyler.

Like those glasses? They come with clip on sunglasses.

How about those? We loved the pose.

Actually, I am going to see what they can do about getting these glasses that are designed just for children with Down Syndrome…to accomodate the things like the bridge of his nose. All in all, it was a successful visit.

We were supposed to get to double-date tonight but our friends were up all night with the flu compliments of their grandbaby who had it earlier this week. Nice.

Hope to have knitting to show soon!

Oh, and loved seeing the snow in the rain today. lol
