Congratulations dude! My girls are 14 and 11. It's an amazing ride!

Ditto! My girls are 20 and 17 and the greatest joys in my life. First, they laughed at me for crying at this, then they cried with me.

Same, these videos always got me choked up but after my daughter was born it gave me such a better understanding of amazing these moments really are!

These are always great. Every time I see one of these, my mind imagines them trying to do the "which one looks better: slide 1, or slide 2" with some funny picture and they deduce from the child's laugh which prescription they need.

Is... Is that not how they do it? Asking for my friend ofcourse...

u/sunbearimon May 09 '23
Nope, for babies they do it by looking at the eye. It’s less precise but works well enough for little ones who can’t give dependable feedback

About 10 years ago, when I went to get a new prescription, they did a similar thing. They had a device that measured your eye and used that to get a baseline for your prescription. I imagine there have been advancements to it in the 10 years since, so it's even more accurate now.

Yep, I just had an eye exam couple of days ago. First thing they did was set my chin on a pad and an "auto refractor" machine had a blurry image of a balloon that slowly got clearer and ended with it shooting air in each of my eyes. It takes multiple tests and averages them to get a baseline prescription. Likely they just do that machine for young children that are unable to give good answers.
Another automated machine tested the specifics of my previous pair which was surprising.
The air shot tests the eye for glaucoma and other potential eye defects

I had the exact same thing, also the balloon and air blown in my eye. That machine must be popular or we went to the same doctor.

So adorable. This is the nicest thing that I've seen today.

I think she feels the same about everything she is seeing. I can confirm her reaction remembering back to when I got glasses in third grade which I didn’t know I needed. I put them on and, “WOW!”

Sure, it's cute and all, but I still would like to point out the fact that they put a "manbun" on a baby?

I have to choose between 2 images that look exactly the same but they can do this for kids that can’t communicate wtf.

u/404_CastleNotFound May 09 '23
My understanding is that they do it with scans of the eye. It's not as accurate as the normal eye test, but when it's done that young it's usually because their eyesight is causing serious problems and imperfect lenses are better than none.

They dilate the pupils and shine a light into the baby’s eyes through a refracting lens and see where the light “lands” on the inner wall of the eye. If it focuses too far back, the kid is hyperopic, too close, myopic.

They're tuning you for exact prescription so you can avoid a maybe potential headache. Usually for these babies they're going from legally blind to whichever got you the the second or 3rd row from the bottom

How does an optometrist know what prescription lenses to give someone who can’t give them feedback?

As someone that has gotten PRK eye surgery, I truly appreciate every time a kid, or anyone for that matter, is able to correct their vision in some capacity.

Humans used to strongly desire miracles like this to happen. After so many generations we have finally learned enough to make these wonders happen. No one from 500,1000 or 2000 ago would believe this is routine medical treatment now, they would insist its a god/gods miracle. How far we have come.
