Got a second opinion today. Yep, she needs the specs. For some reason this is really triggering me. The idea of one of her senses not being 100%. Think I'll book her a hearing test.

It happens and it's not a big deal. I went years and years without glasses struggling to see the class board or driving lol

Yeah man, I know it's daft. I have glasses myself lol. She has a similar prescription to me, so I guess she has my eyes. I just hope she got her dads ears. I really couldn't handle her having to deal with this shit.

If it makes you feel any better, she can always opt for lasik eye surgery when she's older (25-40 recommended age). The surgery only lasts like 5 mins and you'll get perfect 20/20 vision instantly for a lifetime.

@ZFire is that procedure low risk? Side effects?
ZFire
@Wrfortiscue Yes sir, very low risk.It's one of the safest elective procedures out there. It also has one of the highest rate of patient satisfaction of any elective surgical procedures as well. People I know always tell me it's the greatest decision they've ever made. My brother did the procedure and hasn't looked back.The only negative I can think of is that it's quite pricy and not covered by insurance.

temporary halos and glare are the common side effects. It last about 1 week for my brother. I'm going to do it at some point. Before I turn 40

Thanks @ZFire, I feel like a total dafty, glasses are hardly a big deal lol. Think my brain is linking the eyes and ears.

I had her when I was perfectly healthy, but now I worry that she will end up like me.

A bit off topic, but do you guys think that being in areas where you get distortions causes additional damage? I have seen improvement over time, but a recent fire alarm brought them back a bit.
ZFire
I don't think so. Distortions come and go for me regardless of whether I'm in areas that trigger it.
Wrfortiscue
I don't think it does
ZFire
How is it now? Distortions that is
