It's amazing, when I was about 5 years old my eyes began to cross because of my higher Farsighted prescription. I spent 2 years doing vision therapy and wearing special glasses. It worked great and my eyes don't cross any longer. I have very good stereo vision which simply means my eyes work really well together. This is important because many kids have this problem, but they get surgery instead to straighten their eye and many times their eye never learn to work together. I still had to use glasses because I was still Farsighted. Not anymore! About a year ago my father, who is an orthokeratologist, fit me with special contacts called AOK Retainers. I put them on at bed time (I could see with them on, they are like little contact lenses) and I take them off in the morning. So that way I never need to wear glasses or contact lenses while I am awake. Now my eyes are straight and I am free to play lacrosse, swim or just hangout without anything on my eyes or on my face! I do love my new sunglasses though, they are cool.
