Dd 13yrs has worn glasses for distance - school board, tv etc for a couple of years. Eyes worsened at the beginning of the year and new prescription given, then again last week and stronger prescription again. Both times she asked to go as worse and head aches.
Went to pick up her glasses today and she told me she can't see close up either, reading is fuzzy and gives her a headache, so I asked the optician about this. He insisted that its impossible at her age to be long sighted and she didn't need glasses for this but her glasses for distance would help with close work too. I queried that and he asked her if she could read something with her glasses on and she said it's still fuzzy. He said she'd get used to the glasses and improve.
She has previously said reading is fuzzy before we went back, not just today, but I was distracted by other dd being taken ill during her appointment so didn't question it then.
So my AIBU is really a "is he talking rubbish?"and should I take her to another optician, or is he right and she'll be fine with her distance glasses?
