Intellectual Shelby

In between our tire-replacement project and Darby's ballgame, the three of us had eye-doctor appointments. Mine, and annual checkup, yielded the discovery of a slight change in the right eye, while Darby got a clean bill of health. Shelby, however, will be joining her father in the four-eyed club.

I'd suspected for some time now that Shelby might have some vision issues, and wasn't terribly surprised by the outcome. Turns out, unlike her father, that she's far sighted, and that she has a significant astigmatism in her right eye.

She's taking to the news mostly well, though she's nervous that her friends will laugh at her. Personally I think it will be an interesting thing trying to get Shelby to take good care of her new glasses. I'm wondering how many pairs I'll have to pay for. Fortunately the pair she has chosen today were 100% covered by my vision plan, and I only had to pay $28 for the scratch coating that will cover free lense replacement if she does get a little careless with them.



Here's a funky pic of Shelby's dilated pupils.
