glasses for Alina

Helen brought Alina to an optometrist in Frisco yesterday. Apparently she is very farsighted. Not super sure of the optometry lingo, but I think she has +8 diopter. From what I read, +2 or +3 is normal in kids, and their eye muscles can compensate. But this optometrist was sure that +8 would not change or correct itself, and that she would need glasses for the rest of her life. Kind of a bummer. We are quick to say we are super grateful and thankful and blessed to have Alina, and that overall she is exceptional health. But this is still a bit tough to swallow. We of course have some concerns, but I am sure it will all be fine in the long run. Just need to decide on whether or not to get a 2nd opinion, and would this be from a pediatric ophthamologist or a pediatric optometrist.
