In my head:

You: "Mom! Everything looks bad!"
Mom: "I know sweetheart, but even though everything seems hopeless we have to focus on the positive things.."

I never even knew that I actually had bad vision until that first prescription at age age 8. If you've never seen clearly before, you don't even realize your vision is blurry to even tell anyone.

But you'd figure that they might have started getting a clue years earlier when I got lost in my own room, couldn't see the chalkboard in class, and had to sit super close to the TV..
