5. If only we all had "special" glasses so we could see the whole world and everyone in it with such

Love and affection.

It would be a different world for sure.

She's just the cutest darling!

8. How the heck do they examine the baby to figure the prescription?

11. A report on a similar case from 6 years ago touches upon that...

17. The doctor can use a hand held lens and a light.

They shine the light through the lens over the eye, and the doctor can tell what the correction should be.

9. Love these videos, as someone who couldn't see my hand in front of my face without glasses.

Now, after cataract surgery, I can see my feet for the first time in the shower and the clock.

15. When my then two year

old put on her glasses for the first time-she immediately got in the middle of the floor and began to sing and dance.

Just like this so happy little one...

16. Happy tears! 🥰🥰🥰 And homegirl...

I have no memory of this but....

back in ?'55 my mom realized I couldn't see clearly when more than one strange man over time would walk up to my mom with me in the stroller, and I guess partly bend down, and Id go "daddy". Uh...oh...

Anyway - off to find an opthalmologist! Lucky we had a good hospital near us.

So I got glasses at 2 years old, too. I might still have the photo.

So yay for your little one back then!
And this cutie above. 🥰👍

18. So many kids can't see and can't communicate that.

I started reading when I was three. Mom wondered why I always had my nose in a book. Parents had perfect vision, and only wore reading glasses. I always had to sit on the front row about 5 feet from the blackboard, and it was blurry even then.

I remember some woman with a light box in school who said "Stand THERE (no indication where) and tell me which direction the E points when I show you with my finger".

I kept saying, "I can't see that. I can't see that. I can't see that." but nobody heard me. So that was a useless alleged screening.

I was in second grade, and mom took me to the town's ophthalmologist. She found out I was nearsighted, and she felt really stupid. She said "You didn't tell us you couldn't see". I said "I didn't know that I couldn't see". This happened in 1962.

I'm still very nearsighted, and it gets worse every year, but at least my prescription is pretty simple.

Now, Texas has mandatory screening for vision, hearing and speech in the first grade. I'm glad, b/c I was missed completely in their joke of a vision screening.
