Hello! At a couple of recent appointments, Mira has failed her vision tests. So today she saw a pediatric opthomologist and after some testing, it was determined Mira has astigmatism, which means that instead of her corneas being shaped like a half circle, they are shaped more like a half oval. The doctor thinks it could have happened when she was born when they needed to use the vacuum to pull her out. So she will be getting a pair of glasses next week, and we'll need to patch over her left eye to make the right eye stronger. Apparently her right eye is very weak and her left eye has been doing all the work. So we'll see how long the "fixing" process takes, then move right into "maintainence." There is a good chance that after a few years she won't need glasses anymore, but as long as she can see, it doesn't matter one way or another.
I'll post photos next week of Mira in her new, snazzy glasses!
