I noticed that my gal likes to frown her eyes when she watches television thus I've long suspected that she could be short-sighted. Well, mum is, so there could be a possibility she could be inherited with imperfect eye-sight. Guilty enough, I've been procrastinating the eye check-up for her because of pure laziness. Finally, in conjuction with the school holidays, I brought her to the polyclinic today for her 4 year-old assessment and an eye check. After a short 'ice-breaking' session, Rynae was asked to sit down in a children's chair where she needed to put on an eye mask to cover one of her eyes. Her relaxed mood took a 360 degree twist and she showed embarassment and discomfort with it. Though I had pre-empt her that she would need to speak up when doctor asked her what she could and could not see, our friend refused to cooperate. No cajoling could make her wear back the eye mask so mum tried holding it and even using my own hands to cover her eyes. She didn't budge. Her excuse was she couldn't see the numbers with one eye! Duh...!
The nurse was a wonderfully patient and understanding woman and she suggested that I come back in 3 months' time. But what if Rynae still refuses to cooperate then? Does that mean I've gota keep coming back? The 2-hour wait in the polyclinic today was already grueling and antagonising and I don't think I want a taste of it again. Furthurmore, they do not check for astigmatism. Hence, I consider the option of going to KK Hospital or TMC.
So long... polyclinic...
