Kids and Their Unique Eye Test Reactions

You wouldn’t believe how creative kids can get during eye exams! The other day, a little one confidently informed me that the letters on the chart were ‘alien symbols’ meant for secret agents. It’s amazing what goes on in their minds, and it makes the whole experience so much fun for everyone involved — anyone else have hilarious stories from their practice?

I once had a kid who thought the eye chart was a menu for a space restaurant! It made the tests way more entertaining. Do you ever find that a game changes their mood completely?
