No, there is nothing wrong with her sight!

I don't know how many times the little miss has convinced us that she is ailing in some way. Never, however, has she given us reason to doubt her seemingly perfect eyesight.
Several weeks ago a letter came home from the school nurse suggesting that we should get a professional eyesight assessment. Accordingly, but with no belief and no urgency, we did our parental duty. Finally we found a non hospital based optometrist (Qatar, Germany and Belgium will not test children under 12 years) in London. Following a full assessment I discovered that the kid actually does have a moderate problem and couldn't see a lot at a distance! Two hours later just before the first of two London shows, the child could see! Imagine her delight when she found that should could see the stage sets from her seat especially for Matilda which was in the Upper Circle!
She sports two pairs of glasses now - one is Mr Tickle and the other Little Miss Sunshine, her eyes have that slight bug eye look, and we as parents are so thankful for the school's health check systems.
