I took my dd aged 9 to specsavers for an eye test as she hasn't had one for a few years. She's not had any big problems with her eyes but has complained a couple of times that they were hurting a bit after watching tv or using the computer.
The optician has said that she is slightly long sighted and should wear glasses for reading and using the computer. She said she usually wouldn't prescribe but because my daughter had previously complained of eye strain it would be for the best.I paid towards the NHS voucher to get her glasses that she liked but I'm just not convinced that she really needs them. my dd has now said that it's mainly when watching tv that her eyes begin to hurt and the optician had said that the glasses wouldn't be much use for that.
Her prescription reads R +1.50 L+1.50. Does that mean that she's only very slightly long sighted? I've got no idea how to read the prescription.
