Eye Dilation

Someone (Sweet Daughter) decided she wants glasses. At their 5 year well child visit they held this strange machine up to each child's eyes. It beeps and gives a reading. Sweet Daughter failed on both eyes. Then they took her for a traditional eye test and she failed. We ended up with a referral to a pediatric eye specialist.

After the initial exam, which she passed, they had to dilate her eyes. While we were waiting for her eyes to dilate, she was asking what she could do to make sure she gets glasses. Luckily, she was not a fan of the dilation and I was trying to show her what they were doing. I took a close up photo of both kids eyes - one dilated and one not.

Her dilated eyes and a sad face.
Good news! She doesn't need glasses. Well, she wasn't pleased, but I was.

His regular eyes - yes he has long, well defined lashes. 

We have no idea where those came from genetically.
