One day, Jessica’s classmate Amanda started wearing glasses.
Jessica thought Amanda looked cool.
That night, Jessica took her mom’s glasses. She went to the mirror and tried them on.
“What are you doing?” asked her mom. “Do you need glasses?”
“Uh… maybe,” she lied. She wanted to be like Amanda.

The next day, Jessica went to the eye doctor with her mom.
She read letters from an eye chart.
“Well, Jessica. You need glasses,” said the doctor.
Jessica was surprised! “Do I really need glasses?”
“Your eyesight isn’t too bad, but don’t watch TV or read books too closely,”
he said. “When you use the computer, take a break every twenty minutes.
Look far away and slowly move your eyes sideways. Eat lots of carrots and spinach, too.”
That night, Jessica wore her glasses and looked in the mirror.
She liked herself with glasses on, but she was worried a little bit.
‘I must take better care of my eyes,’ she thought. Her image nodded in the mirror.
