Q: Help! Extremely Farsighted 3 Yr Old

My daughter is 3 1/2. She was developing a lazy eye. The Dr. Diagnosed her as extremely farsighted with one eye worse than the other. She was a 6 and 8. It seemed strange yet we got a second opinion with the same results. She has been able to read numbers and letters with no problem. She can even write some letters with out and visual strain to see. We got the glasses today and she said shesee with them on. She keeps looking over the top of them. Does it take a while to adjust to the glasses and that is why she is having a hard time seeing with them. She keeps getting very frustrated and upset.

Also... If anyone has any suggestions for getting a 3 yr old to wear an eye patch... Please pass them on. So far bribes haven't worked.

Thanks!

The way that I got my son to wear his eye patch was by telling him that he was a pirate. I don't know if that would work for a girl, but you can always try to wear join her and wear one along with her or maybe put one on her favorite doll. Hope it helps!
