Miss Amelia, my youngest granddaughter, started wearing glasses before she was a year old. She has lazy eye, or Amblyopia. I was surprised that she would keep the glasses on, but her Mummy, Sarah, says that it only took about two days for her to get used to wearing them, and now asks for them when she wakes up in the morning.
Amelia had an eye appointment yesterday, and was prescribed bi-focals! I had never heard of children wearing bi-focals, but apparently it is quite common. She will get her new glasses, and if they don’t help her amblyopia in two months, she will have to have eye surgery. I hope they help.
