The Jones Girls

How in the world did that happen?    They have to wear them all fo the time!, except when they are playing outdoors.  A few weeks ago I took the triplets to their annual eye exam at Dr. Fierson’s, a pediatric opthamologist.

Miranda has been crossing her left eye inwards.    He said she has a lazy eye and it causes the cross eyed because it is weak.  He prescribed eyeglasses for her.  She is also farsighted more than little kids are at this age.  Miranda’s left lens of her glasses will be specially made to help straighten her eye out.  If it doesn’t then we begin to patch the strong eye to make the weak eye work hearder.  Worse case if that doesn’t fix it, she will need surgery on the eye muscle.  I am hoping to avoid that at all costs.

Amanda also has a lazy eye that I was never able to detect!!  He said she is also farsighted more than little kids are at this age.   He prescribed eyeglasses for her. 

Maryssa’s eyes are the least problematic but her farsightedness has worsened since a year ago.   He prescribed eyeglasses for her. 

I took Savannah to her eye appointment last week.  The optometrist said Savannah needs glasses too!!    She is farsighted.  She needs to wear her glasses all of the time.  So that day I ordered all 4 girls glasses.   That was some endeavor I tell you!!

Today I picked up all of their glasses.   I immediately put their initials inside the glasses so I know whose is whose.    They all wanted to wear the same pretty frames and to be honest, I don’t blame them, they are really nice frames.

It is quite an adjust for them, and even more for me to remember to make sure that they wear them consistently.     I have forgotten a few days to put glasses on them.    I have to make it a habit.

Daddy’s Cliff’s glasses look very similar to the girls’ glasses and my glasses are sort of similar so it looks like a riot to see all 6 of us wearing the same glasses!!
