June Gets Glasses And Sees Things For The First Time!!

[@InevitableSecrets]

One I think it’s sweet that Carson is wearing his glasses. I’m sure that’s comforting for June to see big brother doing it. Two I sense mom and dad feel a bit of guilt they didn’t pick up on this earlier but June is a clever kid and you do the best you can with the information you have. Don’t beat yourself up. You are loving and dedicated parents and that’s all anyone can ask for.

[@gardnerstopwatch1916]

I agree.

[@vickisainsbury7052]

As a 72 year old grandmother, I was in tears watching June ‘see’ the world as it should be. She is a creative, confident little girl so you have provided her with all she needed to thrive. Now the glasses will just give her that little bit to add to what was already there. It’s all good.

[@Just-wiggling-thru-life]

Beautifully said! 🥰 You’re doing great mom and dad and siblings ❤️

[@gswcooper7162]

Parents should never feel guilty about not noticing their child's eyesight problems, as you say children are clever and resourceful and can usually hide these things pretty well, sometimes without even knowing. I was 7 years old before my own eyesight problems were spotted - my teacher noticed that I would sometimes (not always) struggle with words when I was reading, and watching me closely as I read a book it was noticed that my eyes kept crossing and uncrossing and going in and out of focus. They told my parents who took me to an optometrist and I had to wear glasses AND an eyepatch for about a year to help me _consciously_ train my eyes to focus at the right distance and in the right directions. (Even today, age nearly 40, I experience crossed eyes whenever I'm really tired - because I am always manually focusing my eyes while I'm awake!) And even before me - my dad was already going to school before his parents noticed that his eyes were similarly wandering back and forth. Unfortunately, unlike me he would often not wear his glasses (taking them off on the way to school, and putting them on just before he got home, so his parents would never know - and nobody at school was aware that he needed glasses). Because he wasn't wearing them consistently, his eye problems continue to get worse and he ended up with permanent double-vision and long-sightedness.

[@Kthree1995]

Exactly! You don't know what you don't know when you're 4. She couldn't tell you there was a problem because for her, it was normal! Congratulations, June!

[@LiveSimpleLiveFree]

My little sister was so myopic that everything was just vague shapes. We didn’t know until she was 5 starting kindergarten that she couldn’t see. When she got her glasses she went wild with joy. I remember that day. “Mommy, the leaves are little pieces! Mommy, there are sparkles in the sidewalk! Mommy, the grass is like little sticks!” My mom was in tears realizing that her little girl had never seen the world before. No wonder she had always been a scared, cautious child. Your story brought back memories that had me in thankful tears. Be blessed, all of you.

[@Rae8Anne]

The individual leaves were my first childhood memory with glasses too! :)

[@hotnspicycurry]

My parents found out when I was already seven because I was so super clumsy and they couldn't find the reason until they got my eyes checked. But I need to add my perscription wasn't this high. (I think like 2-3)

[@IsitMe65]

Your comment made me cry.

[@tigrlady2u]

This was exactly the same with my youngest. We had no idea that she couldn't see, and I cried every time she pointed out little things that we could see but she had never seen before. She was right around 5, too.

[@bethd2439]

My experience was very similar nearly 45 years ago and to this day I still remember the leaves. All the wonderful details in the world I had never seen.

[@karenbennett3662]

When I got my first glasses at age twelve the first thing I said when we walked outside was “The trees have leaves!” My mother started to laugh and then cry, later she apologized that she didn’t realize sooner that I was having trouble seeing. Don’t beat yourselves up, it can happen to anyone, kids are incredibly resilient and she will be all adjusted to wearing her glasses by the time she goes to school.😀

[@davidvogel6359]

My oldest daughter said the same thing. She could see the green but not the individual leaves. We home schooled so her books were in front of her and we didn't use a blackboard across the room on the wall so didn't know she couldn't see well.

[@kingofnothing1433]

This is somewhat like watching people seeing color for the first time. Just like color blind people June got to see a world she didn't know existed either. a world of clarity. If she can see all this stuff now, imagine when she finally gets her +8 glasses. I'm glad that her mom and dad caught this finally because if they hadn't she might have ended up destroying her eye muscles. I don't think June's eyes were tired, I think she was experiencing eye strain. I'm not an optometrist, but I have been wearing glasses since I was around June's age and I'm 70 now, so I've learned at least a little something about eyesight. And that's why I think June is describing eye strain. If you think that your children are rubbing their eyes more than a normal amount, please take your child to an eye doctor.

[@merlecox8892]

So so cute. She reminds me of our little grand daughter! The first thing she said when got her glasses was "Mum, you have spots on your face!!"... seeing her mothers freckles for the first time. Such was her excitement seeing raindrops, too. Oh the little things we take for granted.

I'm getting emotional watching this. I remember being a little bit older than June and not being able to see very well. I'm near-sighted. I didn't realize that the world around me had so much detail! When I got my glasses, it was amazing to finally experience what people with perfect sight do. Being able to see each individual leaf on a tree and the details on faces farther away was SO amazing. So happy June gets to experience this now too!

[@mariareina2294]

June's personality is just the funniest!!! It was so sweet when she said "thank you" and how excited she was because she could see everything. Dave and Ashley: congratulations!!

Thanks for sharing this experience with us. My grandchildren and I love watching the Crosby family and have done so for years. We especially love June and her wonderful personality. Taking nothing away from the older ones. It's just that we got to see her since her birth. I'm in my 70's and I still remember getting glasses and being so excited to see myriad individual leaves on the trees. Your videos are always uplifting. God bless you all, Always!

[@reeser8]

Loved it when she said at the end, "You look like a giant now!" June has hyperopia (+8.00), not myopia (-8.00). To compensate, June had been using her eye muscles to pull at the lens to focus, but the result is an image that is half-size. Now things are full-size and it must be a trip!

[@KatTheTruth]

This makes so much sense! Wow!!

[@naomipask1809]

Thank you for correcting that. As an eye nurse, it was frustrating.

[@lindaneal5264]

Wonderful!

[@philipmcniel4908]

The change in magnification is mainly based on the distance from the lens to the eye, so the effect her own eye muscles had on size is far less than the effect her glasses have on it. In other words, things really do look much bigger to her than they do to the average person, though her brain will adjust to this (and probably has by this point since it's been 7 months).* I'm not sure how long this effect lasts, since I generally wear contacts (which have no distance from the eye, and so do not magnify or shrink anything), but her family may have noticed that at least at first, she had a sort of "superhuman" ability to see small things that most people would need a magnifying glass to see! Glasses for myopia are concave and make things look smaller, while glasses for hyperopia are convex (like magnifying glasses), and make things look bigger,. Glasses for astigmatism can make things look wider or narrower (but generally narrower) in whatever axis the person has astigmatism. I have against-the-rule astigmatism, so my glasses--when I wear them--make everything look a bit more narrow than it actually is. *Given enough time, the brain can adjust to correct for some pretty extreme changes in vision, even including glasses that turn everything upside down!

[@verenakelly1789]

Now I understand why she is saying "everything is bigger now" thank you!

[@cjsk45]

I was in 6th grade before anyone realized I couldn't see. My first pair of glasses, I could see individual bricks in a building across the street, and individual blades of grass when I looked down at my feet. It was soooo amazing! I can relate to how excited June is!

[@user-no2mz9hl4f]

“Everything’s bigger!” It is so sweet to see the world literally change before June’s eyes. I’m glad she likes her glasses, and that she can now see clearly! Glasses seem like such a small thing, but to the wearer, they change the everything.

The trees were the most amazing to me as well. I was chattering about the leaves all the way home from picking up my first glasses - age 14, I think. I don't even know how my parents figured it out. I think I was complaining that I couldn't see the board in math class.

I’ll never forget my first pair of glasses in fourth grade. I went out the door and I told mom that I could see words on the sign across the street! Trees had individual leaves and the grass had blades! But after an hour my head hurt. So I really understand where June is. Awesome that they can fix her vision with glasses! It’ll open up a whole new world for her! Excited for her that they caught it so young. I always sat at the back of the room and I was to shy to tell my teacher I couldn’t read the board. She’s so adorable in her new glasses! Bless her and your family!

[@mimaestess]

Oh, bless her little heart... and eyes! When I heard you say "+8" I just sat here with my mouth hanging open. My own prescription is +6 & +6.5 so I certainly can sympathize with what she has been missing visually. So excited for little June! She must be seeing a while new world!

[@DawnalynForrest]

@@StephanieStarfall ❤️that is such a special memory.

[@grateful3418]

A whole new world for June! June's new glasses brought back so many memories. I was about six when my 1st grade teacher recommended I needed glasses. I would always pass the eye chart test cuz I would memorize the direction of all the E's. And my mother cried when I put my new glasses on and looked at her and said "so that's what you look like". Realizing that trees could have so many leaves and to see each individual blade of grass was overwhelming, just like June. At its peak, one eye was close to 12 and the other 14 (really really extreme) but I never had astigmatism so Lasik was eventually an option for me. My daughters both got glasses in elementary school and one of them actually started using contacts in 3rd grade (it's so much easier these days). So excited for June!!!

[@bethd2439]

My experience was nearly identical, including being in first grade when my teacher and parents realized it. And the amazement in the leaves are still my clearest memory now more than 45 years later.

[@denverkennedy8980]

The pouty face she’s making is adorable! It’s from the lens weight on the front of her face feeling different and she will get used to it. In future, always thin her lenses and get them coated. When she’s older and eligible, she can try contact lenses too! Enjoy your sight journey June! From an optical assistant in Sunny Australia xx

[@austinhowland300gmail.]

Hello Denver how are you doing

[@philipmcniel4908]

That would be interesting--I love my contact lenses, but I didn't start needing any vision correction until my mid-to-late 20s, so I didn't spend a whole childhood getting used to glasses first. I imagine once she's adjusted to glasses, if she ever were to try contacts everything would look really small to her at first!

[@janayehartley7934]

It’s so sweet to see her so excited about everything SHE can see!! I was 7 when we realized I needed glasses… my prescription was a 4, but I remember being so amazed that there were individual bricks on buildings and blades of grass in the yard! I’m glad June can see so much better now!

[@johningram2153]

I'm glad you found the vision problem fairly early. This reminds me of the day we got our daughter glasses, when she was 4. It was a strong prescription also, and she got sick to her stomach the first couple of days, because they were disorienting. But they made all the difference in the world, and she became a very disciplined glasses wearer. Our daughter is 22 years old now. Her vision got much better over the years. She still has some glasses and wears them only sometimes, but she also has contacts. All the best to you and June.

[@Rae8Anne]

Okay, I'm bawling over here. I'm so very happy for Junebug. Her world has just changed entirely for the better. And I can relate completely. I, too, am near-sided with very weak far-side. I was just a little older than June when I got my first set of glasses. My first childhood memory with my new glasses was being able to see the leaves on the trees for the first time! Wowzers! I only saw green (or whichever color) in one, large singular shape before...never each individual leaf. With my glasses, the tree was no longer a green blob with a brown trunk but a piece of artwork, full of amazing detail. I was so in awe and would continuously pull down my glasses and put them up again quickly to see the vast difference. June, enjoy seeing the beautiful world around you now.

[@arnolski1979]

My mom would probably really identify with your feelings here as a parent. She’s told the story of how I could see birds flying in the sky when I got my first pair of glasses at age 9.

I remember not being able to see the blackboard at school well, but if you've had the problem virtually all your life - like June, you think that's how everyone sees. The thing I remember best is the lights on the Christmas tree. I couldn't believe that they weren't 'fuzzy' any more now I had glasses! I'm now 62 and when I look at the tree lights without my glasses I think back to that time My schoolfriend had also had measles but her ears were affected and she wore hearing aids. Thank goodness we have the measles vaccine now and children don't have those problems. I think people have forgotten - or aren't aware just how much damage measles can cause. It isn't 'just one of those childhood ailments' as some think.

As her parent, listening to all of her new discoveries while wearing her new glasses, I wanted to cry. I had no idea that she couldn’t see all of the things the rest of us saw every day!! I am so thankful for eye doctors who change lives every day!

Junee is so precious! I’m so thankful she can see now. Bless her little heart!! ❤️

[@garymarshall4445]

June's excitement brought a tear to my eye as I, too, went through the first years without good vision. June, enjoy the new wonders you will behold. I was in the first grade, and being a fairly tall kid, they placed me at the back of the row in class. When I started misbehaving because of boredom, I told my parents I couldn't see the chalk board. So, to the eye doctor I went and got a pair of glasses. I remember telling Mom that I could see and read the road signs now.

I literally love June! She is SO CUTE!!!! Haha “MY EYES ARE TIRED OH THEYRE NOT TIRED ANYMORE” she is too cute 😊!

[@Chichirivichi]

June brought tears to my eyes. She looks lovely with her new glasses. 💖What a special day for June. It's great to see how her world has opened up even more. You are such supportive e and loving parents! You are true example of a close knit family. Thanks for sharing all your beautiful adventures. ❤🧡💛❤🧡💛

[@annegallagher7558]

What an amazing day in June's life! Thank you for sharing her day with us. Hearing loss is another area where children do an amazing job of compensating so I encourage checking for hearing if a child doesn't seem to consistently respond if talking to them from another room or with your back to them. I had a significant hearing loss due to spinal menegitus at 9 mths and my hearing loss wasn't diagnosed until 3rd grade. Thanks again for sharing this heartwarming story!!

“Everything is big when I wear them”. The way kids describe things make way more sense than when adults try to describe stuff. I wish we all spoke like June.

[@gaiasmart3984]

when june was talking about the leaves and how there are so many of them, it reminded me of when I first got my glasses and it was so cool to look at the leaves on the trees because I could see each individual leaf instead of just a blurry smudge of green. anyway, I really related to her in that way.

[@edenjohnson9533]

Bless little June!! This was a special day for y'all I'm sure! It made me tear up how excited she was when she realized she could see far away objects 🥺❤️

[@humblebee3018]

Thank you, family Crosby for sharing this special moment with us! June looks SO pretty with her glasses. She is the sweetest girl!!!

I live for these kinds of moments as an Optician. 80% of learning is done through the eyes. Regular exams are key. Also, as I always say to my patients, "if they're not on your face, they're in your case"

[@dixielovessunshine]

June is a Beautiful, intelligent child… she is impressive, I Love her spunk and her curiosity … thank you for taking us on this wonderful journey with June…❤️🥰❤️🥰❤️

Hello Dixie how are you doing

[@bethd2439]

This video moved me and brought back memories from more than 45 years ago. I was only a few years older than June when my parents figured out I really couldn’t see much of anything. One of my most significant memories of that first day was realizing that trees were made up of lots of smaller leaves, not just a big green blob. I honestly teared up hearing June mention the leaves. I also struggled recognizing people because I mostly could only see face shapes and hair color, so I can relate to her seeing someone blond on TV and thinking it was Ashley. It was transformative for me finally being able to see. Just think of how capable and smart and adaptable she already is to have managed this long and been successful managing her environment and learning. There will be no stopping her now. Thank you for sharing this particular story.

[@nanaliekknotts336]

I LOVE THIS!!!!! Reminds me of when I was little and could finally see the chalk board. And again when I was older and had Lasik surgery. When she said she saw all the "leafs on the trees"...I said that too. There were leaves on the trees, mortar in between the bricks, nails in the fence, rocks on the road and faces on those people on the stand at church. CoNgRats to you June!!!!!!!!! Enjoy the new world!

[@carolc4173]

yes, leaves on trees were a big one - they were no longer blobs of green - but trees with branches and leaves!

[@lindawarden-burglund9603]

God bless her! How exciting it must be for June to finally be able to see more clearly, and to get this first pair of glasses before starting school. How often will her prescription be changed before it is as strong as she needs? It's good that it was finally diagnosed at her well-child checkup! She'll have such fun discovering the world! 💙

[@MegaSkills9]

I am so happy for her. I remember when I was in grade school when I got mine. Before the class all the kids and I were looking out the window right before class started and when the bell rang the teacher told all the kids to sit down at their desks. She told them all except me.(With my new glasses.) She said I could stand there and look out for as long as I wanted. What a nice teacher. She knew that it was a life changing moment for me.

[@madelinespitzer3071]

Grandma maddy shed tears so happy for the little one.

[@Veronim78]

June looks adorable in her glasses. Love her attitude. So happy she can see everything much clearer. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@composer19la]

In tears watching this. June is so adorable. So glad she can see now. ❤️

[@berenicereyesg.7895]

Love it! June looks so, so cute with glasses. I´m so glad she´s discovering everything with such energy, joy, and happiness. The ones that use glasses, like me, know all the difference it makes. Carson looks so handsome in his glasses too and he´s such a great big brother to June by wearing them. Millie is growing up as pretty as her sisters. Beautiful Claire helping with Millie is so lovely to watch. Adorable kids of yours...Infinite love and blessings always dear Crosbys.

[@Moonshadow6361]

it reminds for MY first time, wearing glasses.. Suddenly I saw things, I've never seen before. RED was brillant red and not foggy red. My Mum has been crying about my happiness. Many many years later I decided to wear lenses. All the best for little June for her NEW LIFE

[@ranger52083]

Sweet June! Our grandson was born deaf in his left ear. So he can hear half of the time. He’s now five. His parents bought him a hearing aid, it broke the bank. But his teachers say he’s doing so much better in school. He’s smiling more. His frustration level has gone way down. One teacher approached my daughter and said she says hello to Deacon (grand son) every day as he passes her in the hallway going to lunch every day. For the first time he looked at her and said hello back. So hearing and seeing is so important. Love this story about sweet June.

[@cathylongstreth5405]

Now in my 60's, I can still remember my first pair of glasses. I could see distinct leaves on the 🌳 trees, and grass was no longer a green carpet, but millions of tiny blades of many different colors of green! What a great day for Junie!!

[@ruthharris4921]

I love that June can see! I got glasses when I was 8, and the world was so beautiful! I’d never seen the individual leaves on the trees! I can totally identify with June, and watching her compare her vision with and without glasses took me back to the day I got my first glasses and did the same thing. ❤️. God bless!

[@rebeccashoemaker4443]

So happy June is starting to get her vision corrected! She is absolutely adorable. Her story is a reminder to all parents to get their kids’ eyes tested regularly & to be “vision detectives” for their toddlers & pre-K kiddos. I can see how June’s deficits were missed; she’s such a bright & delightful child. My first glasses came in 6th or 7th grade. I, like June, loved seeing the leaves on trees so clearly. Way to go to Carson for wearing his glasses more often!

[@sandydaniels2668]

❤️❤️❤️ I’m glad June can see so much better. I loved her excitement!

[@paulcam8870]

Oh this little girl is so soo sweet. I cried watching her reaction and when June said ‘thank you’ , it was from her heart. Great, loving parents 👍💕🥰🎉🎈👏

[@dvf4550]

Going home with her first glasses, my young daughter was fascinated with the "little points" on top of the grass. Her older sister got her first glasses~and eye patches for two years~when diagnosed with amblyopia (lazy eye). Her journey was a little rougher.

[@foxtrott99]

Awww 🥰. June is so sweet. I loved it when she said, "thank you". You look great in your new glasses June 💕

[@bridgetmcdaniel4004]

Joyful experience! I remember learning that trees have individual leaves instead of big green "blobs" on top! I'm so thrilled for June!

[@austinhowland300gmail.]

Hello Bridget how are you doing

[@deniseweber1339]

It's so true, noticing the leaves on trees are separate is a big change! I remember that experience. My son's eyes changed one year dramatically and it was so amazing seeing the improvements. We did more frequent visits for a while after that. June looks adorable! I love how excited she is.

[@jdm3111]

June is such a joy to watch (as well as Claire, Carson and Millie). She is so expressive. So happy she can see better now and her beautiful eyes will not get too tired anymore. My daughter started wearing glasses at 18 months... she will do great!

[@gillianarmstrong955]

It's such a delight seeing June appreciate the difference that the glasses are making to her sight. Don't feel guilty that you missed it before. Be thankful that it's being sorted now.

[@tammynielsen4212]

June is starting to look so much like Claire so beautiful. And she looks beautiful in her glasses. All your babies are so cute 🥰😍xx
