Joy-Anna Forsyth told Counting On fans that they were “headed to an eye appointment” for Gideon on a Monday. Then, she noted that the last time he had one “was in last July.” Apparently, part of his examination involved getting “his eyes dilated.”  Actually, his eye specialist made it fun for him, and in the video footage, the little guy didn’t look unhappy to be there.

What Is Wrong With His Eyes?
