Through ...Rita, you asked if the girls are sisters. Through adoption they are, but not biologically. Sophia is from the east-central part of China; and Olivia is from the west-central part of China. <br /><br />Both have similar histories in that they were abandoned in very public places, and were found by a person who brought them to the police station. An officer then brought them to the orphanage in their respective cities where they lived for 10 months (Olivia) and 11 months (Sophia) until they were adopted.<br /><br />In terms of vision, Olivia was born with vision issues, but no one ever checked her eyes while she was at the orphanage. Sophia's vision issues are a result of a rapid growth spurt. Apparently, eyes/vision can change quite a bit when children undergo a rapid change vs. gradual one. I didn't know that until she went to the optometrist after complaining about headaches.Harvest Moon by Handhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18026575111937500816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5336200906971083995.post-19976409640695312162012-08-14T15:22:25.287-05:002012-08-14T15:22:25.287-05:00When I was young they didn't notice you needed...When I was young they didn't notice you needed glasses until you were sitting too close to the TV and needed to be in the front row in class to see the board. I went in third grade and was already quite nearsighted. Good advice!<br /><br />Are the girls sisters? I wondered since you thought they might have similar eye problems.Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5336200906971083995.post-54601908332064519542012-08-14T13:02:13.748-05:002012-08-14T13:02:13.748-05:00I think I will call this week and see about gettin...I think I will call this week and see about getting my daughter an appointment.... so there can be a baseline.

It was a surprise, we had no idea. <br /><br />Thank goodness you caught her eye problems early and were able to work on treating them!
