[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid started wearing glasses in second grade. NBD. DH and I both wear glasses.

But is this a troll? Because the whole "should I have pushed screens more/emphasized reading less" thing sounds like a troll question. You can't be serious with that, right?[/quote]

I'm not a troll. My sister and BIL brag that their kids don't have glasses and they watch TV a lot, from a safe distance. Another thing BIL does is keep the house dark. He said they did that growing up and he credits his perfect eyesight to not having his house be well lit. I think the light thing does sound crazy but maybe I pushed reading too much, and looking at a far away TV would have been better. The eye doctor said more and more kids are getting glasses because they are looking close (at screens) instead of far. Doesn't reading count as looking close? [/quote]

1. your BIL is a jerk
2. Reading BOOKS is not the same as a screen

You need to calm down or your son will pick up on it.[/quote]
