We Didn't Know She Needed Glasses.

She never complained of difficulty seeing, never held anything up close to her eyes, and her teachers didn't report any concerns. In fact, we were quite surprised when I finally found time to take the three girls to the optometrist for their first ever eye exam that our 9-year old needed glasses.

In fact, her right eye was a +0.5, and her left eye a +2.5, and the optometrist explained that due to the discrepancy between the eyes, she would need glasses. One eye was compensating for the other, therefore she never reported any visual disturbances...

I needn't worry that she would not like wearing glasses. In fact, from the moment we ordered them, to the week after when they were ready for pick-up, she couldn't stop asking for them..."Are they ready yet?"...She takes good care of them, and has even asked me to buy a pair for her American Girl Doll.

Here she is with glasses:
