ophthalmologic children

Topastro made his first eye exam in three years. He had a chalazion disappeared and did not want to be sure the pediatrician advised to show it from an ophthalmologist. The ophthalmologist, since Topastro has many relatives who have various defects of vision, he suggested we do a full tour, so as to correct any defects as soon as possible. I wear glasses when I was seven or eight years and I still remember the many eye exams. And also remember that the hospital Rimini had a board to measure with the view of the drawings: cars, birds ... In lines at the top were great and those in low small children. The eye doctor where I go now, and where I took Topastro, has a billboard with all the letters for adults and only one with the "E" for children.

I discovered that the signs are used to measure the views are called optotypes and I have made a play for, above. The above is not the same that I made last year, that was made of recycled adhesive letters glued on a card. The ophthalmologist in fact I had warned that it is not easy to measure sight to a child who is under four years and inspired me to play with Topastro the week before the visit. We must cut out some "E" from a cardboard or a piece of plastic, we had made different, one cardboard, one with a piece of carpet and a soft sponge. The game consists in guessing which way the legs are for the "E".

The letter can be placed upright with the legs facing right, or can be rotated 90 degrees to right and in this case has the legs pointing down. If we rotate by 90 ° to the right will have the legs to the left. Topastro could not recognize the right and left, and then helped himself with his arms and hands. I placed the letter on the table and he had to guess which way the legs were addressed. If you were directed to the right he pointed with his right arm, moving just to the right if he were facing up a raised arm. This is the game we were served by an ophthalmologist. We, to top it all, we built a ottotipo and we practiced with that. The day of the visit was more than ready Topastro ophthalmologist and the ophthalmologist when he turned on the light panel with the "E" and began to ask which side had turned the legs he remembered the game that we had a house and waving to the right and left pronounce aloud there, this side up down!
If you bring your child to the eye, ask him what ottotipo use during the visit and maybe you can do as we play at home to prepare for the control of the view :-)
