Re: Advice for 9-year old newly in glasses.

On or about Sun, 27 Jan 2008 22:37:32 -0800 (PST) did Ed
<edutital100@xxxxxxxxx> dribble thusly:

The doc said for my son to wear his glasses all the time in the
classroom and at home when watching TV, or riding his bike and other
outdoor activities. He also told me that he could keep them on for
closeup work, but wasn't necessary. He said my son's eyes would focus
accomodate just fine with or without the minus lenses.

I was wondering if we should tell him to take them off when doing
closeup work because that would mean he would need to focus a bit
harder to "counteract" the effects of a minus lens? Or should he
leave them on all the time, which would make him accustomed to wearing
them (and lessen the chance of losing them). The doc never made this
clear.

First, ignore anything written by Otis. Actually, read what he
writes, and discount any advice that seems to fit in with what he
says. He's a quack.

When wearing glasses, your son has normal vision. The need to
accomodate for closer objects will be exactly the same as for people
who have normal vision without glasses.
