Girl Nauseous for Two Years Due to Wrong Glasses
Read the last to paragraphs in the article.


A young British girl was left suffering headaches and nausea for over two years after bungling opticians fitted her spectacle lenses the wrong way round, The Sun reported Monday.

Staff at opticians Specsavers mixed up the left and right prescription lenses for seven-year-old Tayla Don.

Worried mom Beverley, 39, ended up taking her daughter to hospital - where a routine eye inspection revealed the blunder.

3. C'mon, don't be so harsh on the mom. After all, she thought about it
several times: "I'd thought several times the glasses didn't seem to be doing much good at all. I hope it hasn't caused permanent damage."

Sure, if she'd only thought about it once over two years that'd be one thing. But several times? What more can you really expect from the poor woman? :shrug:

2. Okay, here's the thing: I got glasses at eight. I would have detected better vision AFTER REMOVING
those glasses.

But yeah, a 5-buck bottle of lens-cleaner?
