Lovely Eyes

Chubby cheeks, dimple chin
rosy lips, teeth within,
Curly hair, very fair,
eyes are blue, lovely too,
Teacher's pet, is that you??
Yes, Yes, Yes

Sahil was two years old when he used to rhyme this poem. Deep within me, I would know that the “lovely eyes” he is singing about would be covered with spectacles one day.

The only thing Geeta could do was to delay it by giving nutritious food to him.

Finally, the latest eye check up for Sahil revealed that he would need spectacles so that he does not strain himself.

Even though I always knew that this would happen one day, it was difficult to digest this news. For me, it was like experiencing my childhood pains again as the same happened to me when I was 7 .

In the coming few months, we are going to try out few natural techniques which are supposed to check further degradation of his eye sight.
