What do Blind People See?

This week your child created a working model of a human eye! Using that model, we discovered the basics of how our eyes work, and figured out some of the causes of vision problems.

One thing you can do to support your child’s curiosity about this topic is to have a discussion about any family members or friends who wear eyeglasses (or contact lenses). In our lesson, we learned about why some people have blurry vision, but we did not discuss how some people have better near-vision (nearsightedness) while other people have better far-vision (farsightedness). This would make a great dinner table discussion!
