pictures of kids in glasses with a strong prescription
Thank you to everyone who commented on my earlier post about strong prescriptions and sent in pictures of their kids with strong prescription glasses. I thought I’d make this a new post to show some of the pictures to give people a sense of the distortion that happens with high prescription lenses (hint, it’s really not very noticeable). Again, you would expect that farsighted (+ prescriptions) will make the eyes look a little bigger, and that nearsighted (- prescriptions) will make the eyes look a little smaller.

(and of course, it goes without saying, but wow, your kids are all very cute!)
I’ve had glasses since I was 8. I think it made me stronger in the long-run!
Hi, and Happy Holidays.
I just posted something on my blog that had appeared here on Little Four Eyes and that you might be interested in reading. It’s called True or False (A Teacher’s Tale).
