Clearing up the Confusion

In my last post I celebrated our success with Hailey's eyes. While we are so thankful to the Lord for His healing and know that he deserves all of the glory, I seem to have left out a few details that have confused a few people as why Hailey would even need glasses. I would like to take this time to clear things up.

Hailey's vision score of 20/30 ans 20/25 is while she is wearing glasses. Hailey has other vision problems that will keep her in glasses. The typical knowledge of the different vision problems and how they affect your eyesight is usually very little. Most of our lives we are told that if you have 20/20 vision you have perfect eyesight. However, there are other contributing factors to vision such as, Astigmatism, Tracking, Wondering eyes, Depth Perception, and many more. For instance, you can have 20/20 vision and see things Backwards due to weak muscles in the eyes. This Problem could be helped by wearing glasses with a Prisma in the lens that pulls your eyes to the correct place. So while we thrilled with the results we know that only half of the battle has been won.

In the photo blow you will see what 20/20 vision with an astigmastism looks like.
