A 19 year old sister came by with a 8 year old brother, asking for an eye check-up. Sister apparently, has been wearing spec all the while since she was in primary school, hence she is very concern over the brother eye sight. The little boy was so quiet tagging behind the sister. We made him to sit at the computerised eye test machine, to get an approximate reading for the eyes. The reading confirmed that he has short-sighted of -1.75 D.S, when told to the young boy and sister that the reading is quite high for an initial wearer, the boy jumped into joy, and shouted " Yes! I'm good, you see.I got high marks didn't I?" We all burst out laughing, apparently the boy is proud that he has a high short-sighted degree, which is not something that is proud of. Guess he was brought up in a way that the parents taught him to aim for higher marks for everything that comes in a value. Higher marks in exam, higher value..and now to a higher degree -_-"
