A -3.00 stick-on lens placed 5 mm off centre adds 1.5 prism dioptres, over double what US prescription glasses may have. Stick-ons can't correct astigmatism either. Fine for adult reading shades, not a child's prescription.

US kids' ER injury rate from BB, pellet and airsoft guns fell by half from 1990 to 2016. The eye-injury rate rose 30.3%. Foam darts aren't harmless either: in one series, 9 of 11 kids hit in the eye had bleeding inside it.

About 60% of laser pointers the FDA tested were stronger than labeled, the AAO reports. The legal cap is 5 mW, and laser eye injuries often don't hurt at first, so damage can go unnoticed for days. Laser pointers aren't toys.

Any US baby aged 6 to 12 months can get one comprehensive eye exam free, whatever your income or insurance. It's called InfantSEE, and most parents never hear of it. It checks what a well-baby screening isn't built to catch.

Kids rarely say "I can't see." AAPOS notes they often don't complain about blur, especially if only one eye is affected. So watch what they do in class: cover one eye, tilt the head, hold the book close, lose their place.

Do kids outgrow glasses? Depends on the type. Astigmatism hits 41.6% of babies at 3 months and 4.1% by age 3. Farsightedness under +3.00 usually fades; +5.00 or more barely moves. Nearsightedness doesn't go away.

About 1 in 4 kids born with a droopy eyelid develop a lazy eye. The lid is rarely the problem; the eye under it is. If it covers the pupil, surgery comes early. If not, it usually waits until age 3 to 5, with regular eye exams.

Up to 1 in 5 people have one pupil slightly bigger than the other. Usually harmless: 1 mm or less, same gap in bright and dim light. Get care today if it follows a head bump or comes with a droopy lid or an eye that turns.

"Don't make them too strong" backfires. In a two-year trial of 94 kids, glasses 0.75 D too weak meant more nearsightedness: -1.00 D vs -0.77 D. The number rises after a first pair because the eye is growing, not due to glasses.

Laundry-pod eye burns in 3- and 4-year-olds rose from 12 in 2012 to 480 in 2015. If a chemical splashes in, start the water before you dial: rinse 15 to 20 minutes. Object stuck in the eye? The opposite: don't rinse, shield it.

"I hate my glasses" often means "they hurt behind my ears." Where it hurts points to the fix: behind the ears, temple length or bend; one side only, a twisted frame. Don't bend it at home. An optical shop will adjust it.

Medicaid rules require eyeglasses coverage for enrollees under 21. CHIP varies by state. Beyond insurance: Vision To Learn at participating schools, New Eyes vouchers (exam not included), local Lions clubs. Each has catches.

Astigmatism is a shape, not a disease. The eye is curved more like a football than a basketball, so light focuses at more than one point and blur shows up near AND far.
Not caused by dim light or screens.

Photochromic lenses darken in about 25 seconds. Clearing is the slow half: Transitions says under 2 minutes, ZEISS says 5 to 10. All maker figures, no independent test found. The AAO adds they darken less in cars.

Of 392 Texas teens, 14% had worn costume contacts. Only 3.9% of those got them from an eye doctor; about half bought locally, no prescription. One clinic, self-reported. The FDA: medical devices, illegal to sell without an Rx.
