This is a good point. But at the same time, especially since they aren't wearing them consistently, I gotta wonder if those were actually prescription specs. Could have been drug store reading glasses. Or gawd knows, never rule out the bizarre when it comes to the appearance obsessed abusive personality, maybe even just costume glasses.
My speculation about medical care comes from clues in some of their other behaviors. They didn't want the kids in school because that would allow them to establish ongoing relationships with teachers and peers. (No mass judgment on homeschooling, I am a fan of it personally, but clearly this couple was abusing the privilege.) They didn't want the black lady they met at the festival mentoring the girls about their natural hair because that would be an ongoing, personal relationship with a caring adult who might see red flags. They didn't want the kids outdoors because, per Devonte, they were "hiding" them, which I can assume means that they didn't want the neighbors developing ongoing personal relationships with the kids. When the kids were trotted out to perform at festivals and protests, they were mostly just there for show, not speaking, not developing relationships of their own with anyone present. A doctor or dentist who saw the kids for routine exams, fixing teeth (usually takes a series of 3-5 visits for something that complex at least), monitoring routine cases of bronchitis, etc, would also have the kind of personal relationship with the kids they worked so hard to avoid. Same with a therapist, speech language pathologist, OT, etc, to address the alleged special needs.
