Last week we had an appointment with a different eye doctor. This was a second opinion for strabismus eye surgery, prescription check, and another opinion on Caleigh's eye infection that she had in December. We took her to this particular doctor about 2 years ago for the same reason; a second opinion. Out of convienance we stayed with our original doctor, but the last 3-4 times we've gone in, the mood of the room has been very negative. Because we did not meet eye to eye on Caleigh having strabismus surgery; we were looked at as careless parents. So a change of pace was definitely needed.
The new(ish) eye doctor confirmed our concerns about surgery. He feels that Caleigh's eyes are crossed at times due to her dystonia and nothing more. We are happy with this confirmation. So from now on we will just watch it to make sure there aren't any changes. As far as the eye infection goes, we will have to wait and see if there is a next time and then take her in then. Hopefully there won't be a next time. He dilated her eyes, and Caleigh was very cooperative; something she wasn't at the previous office. This new doctor has amazing patience. The prescription changed only slightly with her astigmatism. We are scheduled back in a year unless we need something. The plan is to stick with this doctor from here on out. Even if it isn't the most convient plan, it's what is best for Caleigh.
So new glasses were ordered and they came in today. We decided to go with the frame-less Silhouette glasses. Caleigh's favorite color is still green so that was the color she picked. They aren't the classic, purple, thick frames, but comfort and the ability to grow into them a little bit more was the objective. We've got to play around with the adjustments some more, but already Caleigh's ears seem to be more comfortable. Same Caleigh, different glasses, but it will take some definite getting used to.
We also ordered new prescription sunglasses at the same time. Caleigh loves these. They are big and fabulous with room to grow. Little Hollywood. We ended up getting the lenses polarized for the soon to be long days by the pool.

Love the frames...Purple being my favorite color!
Oh my goodness, she looks fabulous in both pairs! I love the silhouette's on her!
Love both pairs of glasses. You really see the girl, and don't just notice the glasses now.
Let me say that you can't go wrong with these glasses... And they are well worth the arm and leg you paid for them. ;) Oia has been wearing the same brand of frame since she was 4mo old. And as you know she is 4.5 yrs old now. Same pair of glasses for over 4 yrs! In fact, we just ordered a new pair of glasses by sillouette because shes finally outgrown them and they are so perfect. Caleigh looks so grown and mature in her new specs and I just love them on her sweet face!!! Take care, guys!!
i still think you should have gone w/ the ray-bans. hipster caleigh!
She looks so pretty!
I love that first picture! And that second comment is so true--you really see Caleigh's beautiful face a lot better now! Those sparkly eyes:-)
kendall's jealous her ginormous +14prescription can't fit in those silhouette frames :(
the shades are pretty awesome!
these pictures are great!
Caleigh looks very grown up in the specs, and cute and girly in the sunglasses :) My dd refuses to wear either, but she just has mild short sight and I don't think she really needs them at all.
