Notice anything on that beautiful face?
Come on. Look again.
That's right, you don't! Ja.son isn't wearing his glasses!!
After 5 and a half years, Ja.son's vision is now within normal limits. For now, he no longer needs to wear his glasses!!!
We have a recheck in six months to see how things stand with his vision. Until then, we were told that he gets to be glasses free* unless we noticed his eyes turning. Woo to the double whooo!
Sh.awn's vision has also dramatically improved. Technically his vision is fairly close to normal as well, but his right eye did turn in (then quickly self corrected) when his glasses were off. He's going to keep his glasses for the time being to hopefully allow his eyes to continue to strengthen.
So take that prematurity. We hereby declare vision victory over your miserable behind!
*Poor Ja.son has worn his glasses since his first birthday. He knows nothing else. It has been an interesting day for him to say the least. It took him several hours before he was ready to give me his glasses. It's hard to just drop something that has been such a part of your life for so long. Then, once they were off, he cried a bit as he worried that everyone would laugh at him without his glasses. (How's that for a twist to the usual story?) This being glasses-less thing is going to take some getting used to for all of us, most especially him.
It's odd that this one little change can make him seem so different to me.

This past month we started seeing Jude's right eye drift in (and possibly his identical twin Liam's eye, too). They're going to the ophthalmologist in 2 weeks, but I was just assuming we'd have to do eye patching (dread!) and then surgery. You mean glasses is an option (and a temporary thing)??
I have been worrying like crazy til this post. So hopeful now!! Thank you!
So glad your boys' eyes are doing so well, too! :)
