A member asked:

My daughter (6) just got glasses for the first time. sph +2.50. supposed to wear them full time but says everything is blurry. wrong prescription?

Needs a recheck: At age six, your daughter will know whether the glasses are helping her. Hopefully you went to see a pediatric ophthalmologist rather than an optometrist. Go to whoeever prescribed them for a recheck or see a pediatric ophthalmologist for a definitive answer.
