He had worn glasses since Kindergarten. We would go about twice a year for an exam and get new glasses for the simple fact he outgrew the frames rather quickly with his ongoing growth spurts; with each new prescription the doctor would tell me his prescription hasn’t changed and away we went. He still had trouble with distance viewing. I would bring him back to the optometrist. They’d do a recheck, and tell me,”This is the correct prescription for him.” Just give him time to adjust to them, it may be a matter of him getting used to the different frames. Still, days turned into weeks, and although he was successful in school, playing on the city soccer league, scouting, and bike riding. His favorite that summer was street hockey in our court and shooting basketball with the new hoop set that past May for his birthday. The glasses did help but he was taking them off while playing contact sports. Again, off to the eye doctor to get script for sports goggles, he wore them with every soccer practice and game, a few times when riding his bike. All was good now…...he just needed the sports goggles.
