I was worried that perhaps something must be up with my little girl’s vision. At the age of 3, I noticed that she was struggling to see some things. But I didn’t care it that much. She usually sits very close to the television. I often scold her for that. She blinks her eyes excessively and rubs them frequently. I was unaware that my child was struggling to see clearly. And she never told me that she was facing this difficulty. Now she is studying in 1st grade.
One day her class teacher phoned me and told me that my daughter’s notes are incomplete and that she is not doing her homework. I asked my daughter about that. Then only I came to know that she was not able to see what is written on the blackboard clearly as she was sitting on the last bench of the class. She also told me that she faces difficulty in seeing distant objects.
We took her to the optometrist the next day. After a complete checkup, the doctor told that she is suffering from Myopia - nearsightedness. The doctor prescribed for glasses. She started wearing glasses. But when she went to school, other children started teasing her. Now she doesn’t like going to school.
I don’t want my child to wear glasses.
I searched different blogs and came to know about the laser eye surgery ( http://jenkinseyecare.com/procedures-technology/lasik-procedure/ ) . I want to know the details of this surgery. Is it safe for a child of her age to undergo this surgery? Kindly share your views.

An option other than glasses might be contact lenses. See if she can be fitted with those if she absolutely won't wear the glasses. Again, do not under any circumstances consider laser eye surgery for her, although I'm pretty sure no one would do it anyway due to her age.
