Answers:

This happened to my son about 1-1/2 years ago when he turned 6. They tested at school and we received a note at home, just as you did. I cried when I saw our letter. We took him to an Opthalmologist which had a doctor who works with only children. He needed glasses, but we got the prescription from them and purchased the glasses at Lenscrafters because they are less expensive. We learned that young children often have problems like this but they live with them because they don't have anything to compare it to. Your daughter probably thinks that everyone sees the way she does - she doesn't know any different. My son spend the first few days of having his glasses playing with them a lot. After that, he realized that he likes being able to see much clearer and he wears them from the minute he gets up until he lays down to go to sleep. So, find a local opthalmologist and find out if they have a person who specializes in children. This will be the best thing you can do for her. Good luck!
