First Person “Alison, a cute ten year old, was in the office Tuesday with her father. Normally, her mother would bring her. Her glasses were a year old, and she needed a new pair. The refraction had gone pretty well, and she had hit the wall after the 20/20 line. She read 20/20 easily, but the 20/15 line was just too small. ‘I can’t see it’ ‘Well, even if you can’t read them- go ahead and guess’ (as if I get paid extra if she could see 20/15). ‘OK, if you say so... Eff ... you... see.. kay.. why...’ (as if she is really guessing). ‘Ok, I believe you,’ I said. ‘Next time mom will bring you’ said the dad.” —Joseph M. Miller, MD, MPH
