"Tyler
loves wearing his glasses. His patch, however, was not his
favorite. One day when he lost his patch on the playground,
his teacher found a way to make him feel good about wearing
it. She had all the other students in her class wear "pirates'
patches". This was a big hit! Thank you from the bottom
of mine and my husband's heart for this wonderful service.
God Bless You."

Tyler
is a seven-year-old boy who loves life. He is a leader in his class
and everywhere he happens to be. He also had been reading since
before he went to kindergarten, so naturally, his parents were surprised
to learn he had a possible vision problem.
The results from the screening at school indicated Tyler had very
poor vision in his left eye. Tyler was taken to see an ophthalmologist,
who did extensive testing. During the testing, when the technician
asked Tyler to read the chart, he said he could not see anything
in his left eye. Tyler's mom, Jayne, was understandably upset that
she had not noticed this problem herself. The doctor assured her
that it was not her fault. He also told her that the eye screening
program was of great help and saved her son's eye.

Tyler's screening indicated
anisometropia.
|
Tyler
has undergone several exams and appointments in the treatment of
his vision. Through his glasses and daily eye patching is doing
very well.
