T’s Eye Exam

T’s vision has changed a little so we have to go to Lens Crafters and see about new lenses/glasses. We also found out that T is in fact color blind. He has what they called a red green deficiency. He can actually see green really well but doesn’t see yellows, purples, pinks, oranges, and reds as well. He’s learned over the years what a red and blue chest gear and head gear are from TaeKwonDo but he doesn’t see the colors the same as we do. We’ve been learning a lot about our son and what he can and can’t see as far as colors recently. So now we work on helping him know the colors based on how his eyes see them so he can train his brain to know them that way even though he can’t really see them. He’s also complained a ton about his eyes burning recently so we had that checked out and he has dry eyes so he now has eye drops he’ll be carrying around to use for that as well. We are certain the dry eyes are coming from all the screen time he’s had since we went to all online learning. He’ll need to take more small breaks away from the screen to help fix that problem. Always something new to deal with but we always take it in stride and deal with it together. One thing we can most definitely say is life is never boring. These are the frames he’s chosen.
