Coming back on the question as to why the optician was suggesting that
glasses were needed.
My son is doing well at school and socially and he is generally very
happy in himself. He does well in ball games. He doesn't watch much
television or spend a lot of time on a computer ~ maybe half an hour a
day in total.
He doesn't complain of 'constant' headaches or sore eyes.
However, when he is tired he sometimes goes into eye-blink mode for a
few seconds. The rate of blinking is maybe once a second. Occasionally
he complains of having a mild headache. Both typically occur within an
hour of his bedtime.
The blinking occurs maybe once a week, the headaches maybe once a
month. Both seem to be decreasing in frequency.
We have seen the rapid eye blinking with his friends and cousins of the
same age so we weren't particularily worried but we decided to take him
to the optician just to check that everything was OK.
The optician argued that he should have glasses because they 'might'
help with the blinking. Her argument was that if we got the glasses and
they didn't help then no harm was done.
Of course, in the meantime she had sold us glasses without the ability
to return them. I got the strong sense of end-of-month quotas.
Regards
Emmett
