After a few questionable complaints about her eyes and vision, we took Gemma into the eye doctor. Turns out she and Ashton share similar eyesight. Gemma has an astigmatism like Ashton and is far-sighted (can't see up close). Ashton was about the same age when we found out about her vision issues, but the optometrist recommended waiting until Ashton complained about it before glasses. Ashton got glasses halfway through 1st grade when reading piano music became more difficult. The optometrist said Gemma couldn't wait. Her vision is worse off and glasses would help her read. I am hopeful that the glasses help us with reading; it has been a rough go at learning to read. She loves taking care of the glasses and hasn't broken them...yet.
