I have two greatgrands that wear glasses and they are both worse than me when it comes to making sure they have their "eyes" on. Both are three years old...

but admire their work and efforts. What a joy. As someone who is nearsighted and worn glasses for 64 years (since I was 10), I am in awe.

Once the kid can do his speak they can find tune the traditional way. The laser eye scanner has been around maybe 30 years by now.

There are dozens and dozens of videos like this. And, that's not counting the ones featuring babies and kids getting hearing aids or cochlear implants. It's a HUGE time sink!

Some years back, the eye doctor had me look in a kind of box instead of the usual lens apparatus. The resulting prescription was probably the best I've ever had.

My former husband's nephew was barely 1 year old when he got his glasses. Before that, he did not play with baby toys like other kids. He ignored people who tried to show him those little Fischer Price stack-the-rings toys. Instead, he held up a ring to his face and stared at it with a blank expression. I wondered if he had a cognitive impairment, but did not mention that to his parents.

Their pediatrician suspected vision problems and referred them to a specialist in children's and infant's eye care. What a difference those glasses made! No more scowling and squinting. He perked up, smiled, and quickly picked up what he had missed before when people tried to show him things.
