We've been smacked in the face with a new problem

We've been smacked in the face with a new problem. Emmett says that he can't see with his glasses on anymore and refuses to wear them.

This is concerning for me because the doctor said that his eyes would never get better, so it stands to reason that they are getting worse. <img src="https://lxnxuovarpoeyuzaxuet.supabase.co/storage/v1/object/public/blog-images/inline/2013/11/wpid-afterfocus_1384525352101_wm.jpg" alt="" class="inline-block max-w-full h-auto rounded-xl my-4" loading="lazy" />

It should also be said that we have no experience with glasses. I don't know if this is normal, especially after only having glasses for maybe 6 months. It's also pretty obvious that he can't see with them off either. He has to stand really close to our TV to be able to see what's going on.

We have a call in to his eye doctor and will probably have to bring him in to get checked out.

He's refused to wear his glasses for 3 days now and we spoke with his teachers and they are keeping a close eye on him during the day. We also send his glasses to school with him but he insists that his vision is worse while wearing them.

For the record, Emmett loves his glasses, so this most likely isn't just him trying to get out if wearing them. He's actually upset that he can't wear them fight now and that tells me that somethings wrong.

I really dislike being in unfamiliar territory on things like this.
