Our little abi had to get new glasses. This is her second pair, but the first were not a necessity. Her eyesight was a little off but would be ok without glasses the doctor said it was up to us. We decided to get her glasses anyway. She was good at wearing them the first year, but this last year her precious little brother broke them so she hadn't been wearing them. When I received a call from the school nurse telling me she had failed her vision test (she also failed her hearing test, but that's another story) I decided it was time to get another eye test. Sure enough her vision had gotten worse, alot worse. I don't think she realized how bad it was until she put her new glasses on. It is funny to watch her take them off and then put them back on to see how clear she sees things now! She is near sighted.
