I had a child patient ...

I had a child patient who needed glasses consisting of a significant prescription in the right eye and very little prescription in the left eye. The patient who was able to express herself extremely well said she couldn't skim the material as easily with the glasses on as without. I was able to determine that the patient, when she read without the glasses, was not using her right eye. With the prescription on, she was using both eyes. The glasses were making her better able to use both eyes. However, the patient was use to not using her right eye when she read. For her this is easier. We'll see what happens over the next couple of weeks.
