Surprisingly, DD (5) has failed her preschool eye test. She is approximately +4 in both eyes. We have been told this means glasses all the time and for life. :(
I thought many children were longsighted and that this often corrected itself. Am I wrong?
I am actually shortsighted and have worn glasses since I was 9. Which makes me wonder if she could outgrow the longsightedness and develop shortsightedness!
it sounds pathetic and it could be much worse, but I found glasses a real pain as I was very outdoorsy and so I really feel for her wearing them so young.
