Jonah's glasses

When I took Jonah to his 4 year check-up, his pediatrician thought he might need glasses. I couldn't get an appointment for two months, I finally was able to take him. At the appointment we were told his left eye had 80/20 vision and his right eye had 60/20 vision. The optomologist was surprised that he had never complained about not being able to see. Obviously our only solution was to get Jonah some glasses, so he gave us a prescription and told us to come back in six weeks to see if there is any progress. If it has not improved he will need a patch on his right eye so his left eye can "catch up" to his right eye. When we went to pick up his glasses it was exciting to see his face, he kept saying, "I can see!" He kept taking them on and off to see the difference. He hasn't complained about them and he is very good about wearing them. I think he looks so handsome. Hopefully he will not have to get the patch, aaaarrrrggghhhh Mateys!
