I don't know what to think! I have such mixed feelings--her glasses have become so much a part of her. Seeing her without them will take some getting used to!

| Annie's first day with glasses at 7 months old--January 2003 |
We knew Annie's vision had been gradually improving over the last couple years as her prescription has gotten weaker. Her current pair of glasses even has one lens that has no prescription in it. But I never thought it was a possibility for her to not need the glasses at all at some point! Supposedly, the majority of children our doctor sees that are in glasses, grow out of the need for them by the time they are 9 or 10.

| We were often stopped by strangers in public asking about Annie having glasses at such a young age. She didn't seem so small at the time and I thought it was odd for people to ask us about it, but looking back at these pictures I realize really how much of a baby she still was! |

| Annie won't look QUITE as much like her daddy anymore! |
One reason we might have to put Annie back in glasses would be if she starts doing a lot of crossing. She had one eye patched when she was little to fix some crossing, but it's never been an issue since. And even today as the doctor did the test to try to get her to cross, she remained very straight--with and without glasses on. So as long as we continue to not see any crossing, we're saying goodbye to glasses!
Annie will still require her vision tests every three months because her seizure medication that she's been on for 10 years can cause vision loss. Her vision also still appears as Swiss cheese to her because of the lesions on her retinas as part of her Aicardi Syndrome, but it's nice to know that there's one thing going right with her vision!
