Nick picked up Caleb’s new spectacles from the hospital today. Caleb was very excited to finally have them, and they are working so well, although will take some getting used to as they seem to be making his eyes water with prolonged use. He’s just wearing them for half an hour at a time for now, more or less. He tells me that now he can see there are shells in a bottle where before it was just a white blur, or that he can read the writing on something which was previously a yellow blur. Shame, he must have lived in a world of blur. We’ve given him some training on the correct use, handling and storage of the spectacles, and I think he is the sort of child who will be able to look after them. Nick also bought him on of those glasses-strap things so that the glasses have no risk of falling off his head. He looks super with them on, much older and quite intelligent!
