See-Through Eyes

I don't know if this is common after laser eye surgery or not, but Jack has incredibly small pupils. So small that they usually have to dilate his eyes twice at the dr's office. We were out at dinner on Friday night, and a man walked up to our table and started talking to our Jack, who was, as always, all smiles. The man stated that he loved Jack's eyes, and I explained to him that Jackson was a preemie who was born at 1 pound 6 ounces and that the way his eyes looked is a result of a condition he has. The man stated that he, too, was a preemie and that he had weighed 1 pound 9 ounces when he was born. He stated that my son had "see-through eyes", which is a Native American saying, meaning he is enchanted. I just thought that was so interesting, and I have been searching the internet trying to find more information about it, but I haven't been able to.

Wow--what a great story! So interesting that the man was also a one-pounder. Kindred spirits :)
