Her New Glasses


In amongst all the chaos that has become our lives post February 22nd, my little girl got her first pair of glasses. You may remember me telling you a wee while ago about Holly's eyesight. We went back to see the pediatric specialist who confirmed her eyesight is indeed atrocious in both eyes due to severe longsightedness, which has in turn caused the weaker eye to switch off. The new glasses is the first step in improving her eyesight.

Luckily, she has been very excited about them and has taken to wearing them easily. The first few days she walked round like a headmistress, peering over the top of her spectacles, but within a few days, she had adjusted to them and is actually very proud of her glasses.

It has changed her too, her personality. She used to be so shy and quiet. She used to stick close to me. Now she can see better, her confidence is beginning to grow. She is starting to come out of her shell, she is now happy to run far ahead of me and run fast- without falling over! She even looks different, more grown up some how. Funny that one little pair of glasses can do so much for one little girl.

  5. I've been wearing glasses for most of my life - it makes the hugest difference to absolutely everything when you can see whateveryone else can see (or in some cases, at least some of what everyone else can see).

    Welcome to the cool kids club for you DD : )

  9. One of my grandaughters has been wearing glasses since she was 2 (now nearly 5) and has done well other than letting brothers (mostly the younger) one grab them and he love twsiting the arms so been many trips to the optometrist for repairs lol

  10. Hello, just stopping by to say how gorgeous she looks in her styley frames (no such luck for me 30 years ago, mwah hah hah!).

    I love how you describe her confidence blossoming as she sees the world for the first time with all its sharp lines and intricacies and can find her place amongst it.

    While wondrous it can be quite overwhelming too, you might find she sometimes takes her glasses off for a little while to just retreat into her own little space, but she will be clutching them tight in her hand for when she is ready to put them back on.

    Lovely to hear the update and she is rocking those frames!
