Day 2
Today the team bonded with Brianna, a 12 yr. old student that broke her glasses about 6 months ago and never replaced them. At visual acutities Alethea realized that Brittany couldn't even see the big letter "E" on the chart. Yessica at Autorefractor took a reading of about a -10.00 on both eyes. Yessica couldn't imagine a day without her glasses nevertheless a child at school unable to read anything on the board. Dr. Donna confirmed the prescription and walker her to frame selection where Brittany got to choose two frames to make two pair of glasses just in case she looses or breakes one. Before leaving, we got another glimpse on how hard her life must be. A team member called her name from a distance and Brittany heard the name but was unable to identify the person that had called her. We are sure that OneSight is going to make a big difference in Brittany's life. We wish her the best of luck!
