During our getting-to-know you period, one of the weird things that came up was the fact that Tobie has never needed glasses. It's a little fact that he had always been proud of. As a guy who has been wearing glasses since Kindergarten, I know the pains of relying on glasses significantly. So yeah, it was something for Tobie to be sort of proud of.
Was.
So now Tobie has his first pair of glasses - they're just reading glasses with lens grades that have generally inched up to the +1.00 range. He was in denial for a while and a test last year indicated he may need +0.25 lenses so the jump to +1.00 seems significant over the course of 5 months. I'm glad he finally got a pair so he'll stop complaining about difficulty reading and bouts of dizziness.
Moral of the story: sooner or later you're going to need glasses. And that's okay.
