My 5 year old daughter has worn glasses for long sightedness since June of last year. She doesn't have a particularly strong prescription and the optician said it's something a lot of children grow out of.
I've noticed in the last week/ten days that she is closing her right eye when she is reading/focusing on something, even with her glasses on. I've asked her why she is doing this and she said it's because she can't see - but I don't know if it's become a bit of a habit for her.
I've booked an appointment at the opticians for next weekend but does this sound like she needs her prescription upping? Around the time this started happening she came home from school with her glasses all bent and I had to force them back into shape. But they are still wonky and leave a mark on the bridge of her nose so didn't know if this is likely to have anything to do with it?
I don't wear glasses myself so I'm a bit clueless. I know the optician will have answers next weekend but it's concerning me every time I see her reading or concentrating on something!
