“I didn't know that I couldn't see correctly. The long-soured school nurse knew, but she wasn't telling. Perhaps she felt that she'd done enough by testing my vision, filling out the form, and placing it carefully in my file. I would have lost it anyway, she may have thought, and, besides, it was the parents' responsi-bility. They should have noticed that their seven-year-old daughter was drifting around in a world as beautifully blurred as an impressionist painting. I found everything wondrous, so detailed up close, so shimmering at a distance.” Great description of how it feels to have myopia
