Babies Wearing Glasses

More often this refers to toddlers, but I sometimes see little babies, some who can’t even walk or talk yet, wearing glasses. I guess there are some afflictions or diseases of the eyes that a doctor can identify simply by looking into their eyes with those damn blinding lights, but all of them can’t possibly have eye diseases, can they? 

I’ve seen babies with - literally - coke bottle glasses that I believe, could only be very poor eyesight. But how in the hell can you possibly give a baby an eye test??  They can’t tell you they can’t see things clearly unless they can clearly communicate with you.

“Which one is better? One... or two…?” 

“Babababa!”
