I know lots of kids wear glasses because of lazy eye and what not that causes their eyes to cross. But Sam is just really near sighted and has never had problems with is eyes crossing. Only, just this week he was sitting in my bed after just waking up that morning and talking to me. He hadn’t put his glasses on yet and I noticed when he looked at me, one eye turned in a little bit.
Could this just be from him trying to focus? As soon as I put his glasses on him, it went away. I don’t know what to think about it.

I came to this blog in a roundabout way. I posted on my mommy message board asking for advice about little kids and glasses, and another mom posted a link to Little Four Eyes. Ann had an invitation for other to post, so here we are!
My little one that needs glasses is Sam, and he's 2 1/2 yrs old. We noticed he was squinting at things a few months ago, but decided to just watch it and see if it was just the TV and computer or everything. His preschool teachers commented on it, too, so we decided enough watching and got him appointment. The rest I'll blog about here.

For Little Eyes 
Hmm. I know Zoe crosses her eyes in an attempt to focus, but it’s because she’s farsighted, I haven’t heard of the same accommodation happening with nearsighted kids. Though it sounds like it might be the case since it stopped when he put on his glasses. Do both his eyes have the same prescription or is one eye stronger? I do know that a lot of people whose eyes cross will cross more – or at all – when they’re tired. Maybe see if he crosses his eyes later in the day, when he hasn’t just woken up, and he isn’t wearing his glasses?
