Carson and the Shiny Blue Glasses (The Feel-Good Squad)

by Stefanie Drozd

A children's book for discovering the special differences that exist amongst young kids with vision problems. Most children do not know or understand eye problems because they may have only ever viewed the world with vision difficulties since birth. Or they may not know how to verbalize the issues that they are having. In many cases, it is up to parents, caregivers, teachers, and peers to catch the often subtle cues displayed by children experiencing vision problems. This can include eye crossing, poor attention span, squinting, or failing school report cards. If you notice any of these behaviors or changes, it is important to consult your pediatrician, who can refer a pediatric ophthalmologist. It is very important to see a doctor who is trained in assessing young children, as they may not be able to read or follow through with a routine eye exam. Stefanie and her son Carson are devoted to raising awareness about pediatric ophthalmology. Stefanie first realized that Carson may have had an eye problem when he stopped running up to her when she walked in the door from work. She also noticed him crossing his eyes at times. Carson was diagnosed with severe farsightedness and required both glasses and eye patching. He is followed by a specialist and looks forward to his semiannual exams.
