Being an optometrist, I asked myself the next obvious question when I typed out that I was "blind as a bat" without my glasses. Just how blind is a bat? I found out that I am blinder than a bat. Bats actually have excellent vision, plus sonar to boot. I found this cool article here. I don't have sonar, and I can't even see the big E on an eye chart without my glasses or contacts. You're welcome. I know your life is more full because of this fun fact. (deviantart.net)
While sharing our journey with Down Syndrome, we want to help other parents with our experiences, as well as spread awareness about what it means to have Down Syndrome (spoiler: it means great things!).
