Strabismus in the New Year!

Wow, hard to believe that January is nearly over already but better late than never to wish you all a happy new year. :)

2012 is off to a great start for us, though the Struggle to Keep On Glasses continues. Yes, he does well wearing them, but come on, he's not even two years old. It can be exhausting dealing with pediatric strabismus. If he's not in the mood to wear his glasses, my main concern is that his eyes are getting worse, not better. Sad, indeed.

Did I ever mention that his first pair broke within the first week? Thankfully the eyeglasses place sent it back the manufacturer and claimed "manufacturer defect" so we didn't have to pay for the replacement. But that was an entire week that he wasn't wearing glasses, and when you're already stressed about correcting his vision, it can be an extra headache, KWIM?

Oh, such a joy having a tot in glasses. {sarcasm!}

How is everyone doing getting their kids to keep glasses on their adorable, tiny faces? What works for you and your kids?
