Glasses for ALL
While in Ethiopia this past June, we met in opthamologist who gave us information about Solomon's left eye that turns inwards. After arriving in Wisconsin, Solomon was seen by an ophthamologist. After having Solomon look through many different lenses, he determined that he was actually far sighted. The reason his eye was turning inward was because the the stronger eye (right) was actually compensating. Jim and I ordered glasses and Solomon has been wearing them ever since except when he pulls them off and throws them on the ground in a teasing manner when mom is driving the car. :)
Hannah and Rebecca were also seen by an opthamologist in December. It was determined that Hannah has a stigmatism and required glasses as well. Because the girls both spoke limited English, a machine that reads the eye was uses to assess the girl's eyes along with an examination by the eye doctor. Pretty amazing......it was accurate!! Hannah ended up getting prescription glasses and we purchased some "Wal-mart FOR DISPLAY ONLY glasses for Rebecca. She wouldn't have it any other way!!
