I took both dds to have their eyes tested, just because I thought I ought to. Dd2 is nearly 5, and we've been told she is quite long sighted. She had the drops put in on our second visit, before various tests, which apparently confirms things. The prescription is +5 (I have no idea what this means), which is apparently quite strong.
All this is fine, but dh and I are feeling a little bewildered when neither dd, us or her teacher have ever noticed any problems with her sight. She has learnt to read very well. Has anyone else had this? Is it just a case of her having got used to how she can see, and not realising there's an issue?
I'm quietly a little bit upset about my little girl having to wear glasses (we were advised she should wear them all the time), but will of course accept it and not let on to dd. I realise this is trivial in the great scheme of things.
Would appreciate hearing from anyone who has had a similar experience.

Been told dd2 needs glasses, when none of us had previously been aware of any problems with her vision. Anyone had this?
