Well, I guess bad eyes seem to run in this family (everyone but me has them now)! Logan went to the eye doctor last week after his reading teacher told me that he was doing a lot of squinting and blinking while reading. So, we found out that, not only does Logan need glasses to improve his vision for reading and seeing things up close, but he also has the "lazy eye" problem that Landon has. The difference between Logan and Landon is that Landon has one lazy eye, and Logan has two. Basically, from what I understood from the eye doctor, this means that the eyes aren't tracking together, making reading very difficult. One of Logan's eyes will track while reading for a bit, and then the other will, but when the eyes are switching from one eye tracking to the other, they can't keep track of where he was on the page. Both boys need vision therapy, but Logan's case is a little more severe/serious than Landon's. Ugh! Add one more problem to Logan's long list! When is this kid going to catch a break?! At least he looks mighty handsome in his new glasses! :)
