Kaleigh is getting Glasses!!! Part One
Ok, so lately, I have noticed my daughter squinting at the tv and complaining every now and again that she has a headache. Usually this occurs after she has watched tv for a while in the evening. She either takes a Tylenol or she is close enough to bedtime to just let it go. I needed glasses at 9 years old. Kaleigh is 10 and I figured it wouldn't hurt to take her in and have her eyes checked. The last time she had her eyes checked was when she was in 1st grade. At that time she had 20/20 in both eyes. So we go in and they do all of the tests...Optometrist asks her questions, asks me questions, then we go to the letters on the wall test.
Cole and I are sitting closer to the chart and can read all of the letters. He asks her if she can read the bottom line...she says no. He then asks if she can read the middle line...she says, " I think so"...and proceeds to get all but one wrong! At this point I am counting the money in my purse (just kidding). So turns out that she not only is nearsighted, she has astigmatism too! Great. Well, not like it was any shock, so we go and find frames and order her glasses. Costco is really very good! And you cannot beat their prices! Whereas my glasses cost approximately $300+ (for just the glasses), Kaleigh's glasses and exam cost about $150. Not too bad. Her frames are really cute too! So look for part 2 with photos!

That's not bad. I'm looking forward to the photos.
I still had insurance for vision, so we all recently had our eyes checked & all of us got new glasses, except Connor, who still needs to go.
The only thing they didn't cover was the light-weight lenses & protective coat. So that was our out-of-pocket expense and that was it. :)
Carl had he and I on the insurance which is really great, but the kids are not. We were planning on waiting until about the first of the year, but the doctor said that she really needs them now so....
I know they can usually get more through insurance so I don't think he was pushing it....
If I didn't see the signs then I would question it but I have seen the signs so...
