Everything you need to know to take care of your eyes — for life.
Is it hard for you to see what your teacher is writing on the board? Does your head kinda hurt when you read? Or are you starting to hate recess because you feel clumsy?
Don’t worry! You might just need glasses.
Seeing the eye doctor is nothing to be afraid of. Here’s what an eye exam is like from start to finish. (For more, read What Happens at the Eye Doctor’s Office here.)
First, you’ll sit in a big chair. There will be lots of cool-looking machines nearby.

Eye doctors like to ask lots of questions. Like:
Your answers help them figure out if you’re having trouble seeing well.
The eye doctor will shine a little light in your eyes to make sure your pupils are healthy. Your pupils are the tiny black dots in the center of your eye.
They’ll also cover one eye at a time and ask you to look at different objects to see how your eyes work together.
Next up is the stereopsis test to check how well you can tell if something is near or far away. You’ll put on a special pair of glasses, look at a picture, and name the animals you see.

Now it’s time to look into more cool machines.
The doctor switches the lenses while you’re looking at the letters. Some lenses make the letters look clearer, and some make them look worse. Your job is to tell her when they look the clearest.
If you’ve been having trouble seeing, this machine helps your doctor find the exact lenses to give you almost perfect vision.
That’s it!
If you do need glasses, you’ll pick out frames you like.
It might take a little while to get used to wearing them, but pretty soon, you’ll love how much easier it is to play and read.
