Hi
I took my children to the optometrist for an eye test; just for a check up not because I had any concerns, apart from mild strabismus for the 6 year old, who happens to be OK; however my 9 year old was found short sighted; I was not expecting it as she says she can see everything properly and does not have any problems at school and has never complain. The lady recommended glasses for school and to watch tv; she said the prescription is very low at the moment. DD does not want to wear glasses; can we wait for awhile? DH has the same problem and did not start wearing glasses until he was 16.
When will she be able to have laser surgery; I had lots of friends back home who have done it, also my sister and it has been great.
