ooh, just thought i'd mention - my eyesight has completely changed as i've "grown up" - i was long sighted (similar to Trill's son) severely in both eyes - by the time i was about 15, my glasses were half the strength they were when i got my very first glasses - and now, i'm long sighted in one eye still, but short sighted in the other... long/short sightedness will change as your kidlet ages - so regular checks are important.

i can't wear contacts unless i spend over $500 a set due to the severity of my astigmatisms - and laser surgery won't correct the issues i have. but that's cos of the compound impacts of all those things wrong - if it's a singular issue, there is a good chance that, when they are older, the laser surgery can correct the issue

when i do things, i do it the hard way!
