Seeing More Clearly

Zack Thomas was a tall eight-year-old boy with brown hair and orange freckles. He loved to play baseball with his sister Margie. Both were fiercely competitive. The blonde-haired blue-eyed sister was a firecracker of emotions. The boy's head hurt and his vision began to blur. "I wish I didn't strike out on my first chance to bat for the team," he said. Zack went home and flipped through channels on the T.V. He squinted to watch a commercial. Zack heard the last part of the commercial. An optometrist was talking about three warning signs of poor vision.
