Today Lucas went for his first eye exam. Most would think I'm crazy to say that an 8 month old baby would need to have an eye exam, but with the history that Andrew and I have with eye problems we wanted to be proactive. Our eye doctor luckily offers infant eye exams. Poor thing had his eyes dilated, but it wasn't as bad as I anticipated. However, his pupils are huge, as you can see! He did a great job, all of the nurses loved him, and our eye doctor was great with him!!
Plus...the best news of all...His eyes are GREAT! He doesn't have any trace of a lazy muscle like his mommy & daddy. Also, he is a little farsighted, which is normal for babies, and they grow out of it. It's actually being nearsighted that they can't grow out of. So all in all, we have a little boy who is healthy and has healthy eyes :) I am so thankful and I hope he never has to experience the problems we had, including glasses, contacts, etc. He will return to the eye doctor when he's 3 :)
