My niece is 9 years old and has horrible eye-sight. Every time she goes to the optometrist, he says there is nothing wrong with her eye and does not prescribe her eye glasses. Yet, she is not able to read unless the book is about 2 inches from her eye, and sits very close while watching TV. The optometrist thinks that she is physically fine but is affected by some psychological problem that is manifesting to her eyes. I am quite concerned that this is a symptom of some bigger problem. Any ideas of what is wrong with her?
