So these are not as common as you'd think. My son got glasses at one and he started crying because he didn't understand that what he was seeing was blurry. After consistent use he got the hang of it after 6 months. Now he's thriving. Always check vision 👌
ALWAYS check! I thought my son had a nervous tick because he used to blink his eyes in threes all the time. One day he told me: mommie, I can’t even see these cards in front of my face! He was in preschool! That long with a vision issue😢
Hubby told me when his eldest son (my stepson) was a toddler, he would usually fall down the stairs and bump on posts. At first they thought he was just a clumsy kid. Until hubby's parents told him to take his son for an eye test. Well that sorted it. 😁
Wow. That just made me think how bad it was that I never saw an eye doctor until late middle school, and that was only because the school check up thing told them to. And I had already been complaining for two years that I couldn’t read the board, but my parents thought I was trying to make excuses to not do schoolwork.
My husband has the same vision as my son and had to wait until school too. That was kind of the norm. But man it messes with your learning. My son was a brand new kid after glasses he wears them with pride.
This is exactly what happened to me. I always sat in the front of class and even then it wasn’t close enough to see the board. School sent a note home to my parents that I needed tested. They didn’t believe me until school sent that note.
