Eye see trouble...

Dear Nicky,

Well, we went to see Dr. Mori the pediatric ophthalmologist for your one-year check up today. She seemed pretty certain that you'll be needing glasses very soon. Lately, your eyes have been crossing a little, infrequently but pretty definitely, and it may be due to muscle tone, but more likely, according to Doc Mori, it's because one eye is stronger than the other. Turns out all babies are somewhat farsighted. Eventually, this condition is supposed to resolve itself. Yours hasn't yet, and Doc Mori doesn't think it will. She could tell we'd really prefer you not have to deal with glasses so early, so she's fine letting it go another couple months to see if anything improves, but she does want to see you again soon. Apparently the sooner these sort of things are addressed, the better. I'm sorry, pal. I hate the idea of glasses on you, but what can we do? We're thinking of going to another doc for a second examination. We'll just have to, pardon the expression, wait and see.

Love,
Dad
