Mr. Cool

I took Charlie to the optometrist this morning for an eye exam under the Infant See program. He had just woken up from his nap and was full of smiles and cheer - he charmed the many ladies at the doctor's office. He thought the whole experience was pretty fun, until he got tired of the doctor holding something in front of his eye that he wasn't allowed to grab. But as soon as she stopped, he was willing to give her some grins again.

As far as how it turned out - his eyes are as healthy as the rest of him. They checked for all sorts of reflexes and conditions I'd never heard of, on top of more familiar things like a lazy eye. And somehow or another they could get a general assessment of his vision. He has slight astigmatism and far-sightedness, but well within the normal range for his age. They'll check him again when he's three and then will have a better idea of how his vision will be long-term.

And believe it or not, they managed to dilate his pupils. Doesn't he look sharp in his shades?
