Learning About Eye Disorders Treated By Optometrists

Hello, my name is Jenn. Welcome to my site about optometrists. When I was a young kid, I had a hard time focusing between near and far objects. I would have blurry vision as I adjusted to the distance. I went to my optometrist, who said my prescription was normal.
