Well, I took the boys in to the eye doctor on Tuesday.  B has made a few comments about not being able to see very far with one of his eyes, so I figured he needed glasses, but I didn't realize how bad it was!  He sees 20/20 in his right eye, but his left eye is 20/200!  He wasn't very happy at first, but he is getting used to the idea of wearing glasses.

I asked the doctor to show B the correct way to read a book.  He handed B a magazine, and asked him to hold it the way he normally would.  B promptly set the book on his right knee.  The doctor grinned, looked at me and said, “See how he favors the right side already?”  It was really amazing.  I never noticed that he only read with his right eye before.  He now has to learn to read again, using both his eyes together.

So, we ordered glasses for him (!)  It will be such a nice change for him to be able to see with both eyes!  Once he gets his glasses, he will actually be seeing 20/15!  They should be back in time for his 10th birthday.  He thinks he looks dumb in his glasses, that glasses don't look good on his face, but I think he will enjoy seeing so much, he won't mind once he has them.  Besides, I think he looks very sharp in them.  I will post a picture of him once he gets them.
