First Person

Our one orthoptists was feeling festive for the holidays and was wearing antlers. She was refracting a child with amblyopia whose vision wasn’t quite as good as it had been. He was brought in to see the pediatric ophthalmologist, and when he came in the child looked at the doctor and said, “I have to tell you something.” The doctor asked, “What?” The child stated in a huff, “You know the woman with the antlers? Well they kept getting in the way and made it hard to read the letters.” Contributed by Noelle S. Matta CO, CRC, COT, Lancaster, Pennsylvania
