Jack Wears Contact Lenses and Glasses... JUST LIKE YOU! Juliette S Vignola

Spend a day with Jack, a bilaterally aphakic child who wears contact lenses, glasses, and occasionally a patch. Go with Jack to the ophthalmologist's office and sit in the "Not So Scary" chair, and watch as he cooperates with the eye doctor and with his mom as she inserts and removes contact lenses. Watch as he even cooperates with eye drops (or "Eye Tickles" as he calls them!). This book may not magically turn every child into a fully cooperating angel. But it will help your child to know that he/she is not alone, and that other children have the same experiences with contact lenses, glasses and patching. This book follows on the tremendous success of the author's first book, "Samantha Wears a Contact Lens and Patch... JUST LIKE YOU! A day in the life of a unilaterally aphakic child". Although many of the issues facing aphakic children are universal, whether the child is bilateral or unilateral, there are also many differences. This book incorporated a great deal of parent feedback regarding bilateral children. There are also more pictures of the ophthalmologist's office visits, at the requests of pediatric ophthalmologists who have reviewed the books. This book is suitable for children ages 1-8.
