If she needs glasses it's good that she's positive about having them. My daughter got glasses a few years ago and hated them, at first refusing to wear them. After a while she got used to them and now she's fine.<br /><br /><a href="https://boltonvisioncentre.wordpress.com/2015/09/11/why-the-need-to-schedule-regular-eye-exams-with-your-local-optometrist/" rel="nofollow">Lucius Calhoun @ Bolton Vision Centre</a>Lucius Calhounhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07018902482494887726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6915118192002933969.post-57097098901946275672015-03-24T07:48:46.111-04:002015-03-24T07:48:46.111-04:00Oh my, too funny about John Allen having such grea...Oh my, too funny about John Allen having such great vision in his artificial eye!

We have a love/hate relationship with eye ...Hi Kym! We have a love/hate relationship with eye doctors. We have to go quite a lot. Really it's a love relationship, but the reason the kids have to go quite often is not a fun reason. Our oldest, John Allen, was diagnosed with a rare form of eye cancer when he was 15 months old. He is now 18 years old and doing great but has an artificial left eye and has to wear protective glasses to make sure nothing happens to his good eye. I do have a funny story that I will probably blog about but will tell here first. John Allen went to public school for k-3 grade. In first grade they did those regular eye exams in school. Of course his teacher knew that he had an artificial eye, but she didn't think to tell the eye examiner that and John Allen was too shy. Well, it was a shock to find out he had good vision in BOTH eyes! He had faked his way through the left eye portion of the test and passed! We see his first grade teacher every so often and still laugh about that!Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16900062466950817942noreply@blogger.com
