What does it mean to “SEE”?
And what can reading glasses do for a child who can “see” without them?
Join Sylvia on her journey with her glasses. It’s love at first “sight,” but when the excitement of the accessory wears off, how is she supposed to remember to use her glasses? Especially when she notices she can “see” without them?
Embedded within this engaging story are important insights for parents about the visual skills needed for learning in a classroom setting, and the subtle signs of visual problems which can be treated with glasses. Parents and children alike come away understanding the difference between “needing” glasses and “benefitting from” them, as a powerful tool for learning and sustaining attention in the classroom.
If your child loves to learn, but doesn’t love to read, chances are there is a visual problem which has not been addressed. “Find a doctor” resources are provided to locate eye doctors who treat learning-related vision problems around the globe.

Review by an Optometrist with young children of her own:
“Hi Dr. Slotnick! I had to write and tell you how much I loved your book about the girl using low plus lenses to relax her eyes during close work. My boys (5 and 7) were totally into the story, and we were all excited to read about someone else who used glasses like theirs! I use the same approach with my kids – having them wear plus lenses to relax their eyes when they’re doing homework or reading so that they don’t get nearsighted – so your book was so validating to read. It’s awesome to know someone else gets how important this is!
“You did such a great job making this concept fun and understandable for kids. What a brilliant way to get families thinking about vision care! So happy I decided to buy the book! Just wanted you to know how much the book meant to us. Thanks for writing it!”
