I ka wā i kuhikuhi ʻia ai nā keiki liʻiliʻi a kahi hoaaloha, ʻo koʻu manaʻo mua, He pēpē i nā aniani? Uhhhh, he aha ka mea ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi? Akā, ua hopohopo koʻu hoa. ʻAʻole ʻae ʻia kāna kaikamahine ʻo Bernie i kahi pāpale ma kona poʻo - pehea lā e hiki ai iā ia ke kū i kahi mea ʻino e like me makaaniani i nā lā a pau, i nā lā a pau? A ua kūpono kēlā mau hopohopo. I ko Bernie kau ana i na makaaniani (a ae, he nani loa kona nana ana), huki koke mai la oia ia mau maka, i mai la, aole, aole, aole, hehi kona wawae a uwe. ʻAe, he mea paʻakikī ia.
Akā i kēia manawa, he mau mahina ma hope mai, ua ʻaʻahu ʻo Bernie i kāna mau kiʻi ʻulaʻula ma ke ʻano maʻamau-i ka papa guitar, i ka paka, ma nā wahi āpau. (A ʻae, ʻoluʻolu loa kona nānā ʻana.) Akā ʻaʻole hiki ʻo Bernie ke keiki liʻiliʻi wale nō i kuhikuhi ʻia i nā aniani—a ʻaʻole hiki i koʻu hoa ke lilo i makua wale nō e hopohopo nei no kēia pilikia. No laila, paʻi au i koʻu hoaaloha a me ke kauka maka a me ka ʻelele brand Transitions, ʻo Dr. Amanda Rights, O.D., e aʻo hou aʻe e pili ana i ka pilina o nā makaaniani kamaliʻi paʻakikī.
ʻO ka mea mua, pono anei nā kamaliʻi i nā aniani? He ʻōpiopio loa lākou.
ʻAʻole e like me kēlā mau makahiki ua komo wau i nā aniani hoʻopunipuni mai Claire's no ka mea ua manaʻo wau he mea maʻalili (ʻaʻole ia), ua haʻi mai ʻo Kauka Rights iā mākou he ʻoiaʻiʻo nā pilikia ʻike i nā kamaliʻi a hiki ke hoʻopilikia i ko lākou ulu ʻana, Mai 12 a 36 mau mahina, ʻo ka hihi ʻO nā manaʻo nui e hoʻohana ai nā keiki e aʻo i nā manaʻo hou a ʻike i ka honua a puni lākou. Nui nā kumu no ka lāʻau lapaʻau, me ka pale ʻana inā he ʻino ko lākou ʻike ma ka maka hoʻokahi, e kōkua ana i ka hoʻonohonoho ʻana o nā maka keʻa a kuhi hewa paha a/a i ʻole ka hoʻoikaika ʻana i ka ʻike ma kahi maka nāwaliwali a palaualelo (amblyopic).
Hiki i nā mākua ke ʻike i nā hōʻailona hōʻailona?
E ʻimi i ka uʻi ʻana, ke hili ʻana o ko lākou poʻo, ka noho kokoke ʻana i ke kīwī a i ʻole nā mea hana e like me ka papa papa a i ʻole ka hamo ʻana i ko lākou mau maka, wahi a Kauka Rights. ʻO ka ophthalmologist hiki iā ia ke hana i kahi hoʻokolohua ʻike maka pediatric piha e hōʻoia ai inā loaʻa i kāu keiki ka ʻike a i ʻole nā pilikia olakino e pono ai ke lapaʻau. (Psst, ʻaʻole i manaʻo ʻia ka nānā ʻana i ka hihiʻo e ka pediatrician a i ʻole ke kauka mālama mua ʻē aʻe he pani no ka nānā ʻana i ka maka a me ka ʻike maka i hana ʻia e ke kauka maka.) A inā makemake kāu keiki i nā aniani? Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Rights e ʻimi i kahi hale kūʻai optical e lawe ana i nā maka maka pediatric me kahi mea nānā ma ka pūnaewele no ka mea he mea koʻikoʻi ke kūpono.
A loaʻa iā ʻoe nā makaaniani, pehea ʻoe e ʻaʻahu ai i kāu keiki?
ʻOiai ua haʻi mai ʻo Dr. Rights iā mākou ʻo ka ʻike ʻana i ka maikaʻi e hiki ke hoʻoikaika i ka mālama ʻana i nā aniani, ʻike mākou i kekahi mau keiki ( cough cough , Bernie) ka mea e manaʻo ʻē aʻe. No laila, he aha kau hana? Manaʻo ʻo Kauka Rights e hāʻawi i kāu keiki i ka lima i ke koho ʻana i nā kiʻi i mea e manaʻo ai lākou he mea nui, hoʻokomo ʻia a no laila ʻoi aku ka nui ma luna o ka moku. ʻO kaʻu hoaaloha, ʻo nā ʻōlelo aʻo a pau āna i ʻike ai ua alakaʻi ʻia i ka ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo hoʻokahi: kipe-inā ma ke ʻano o ka manawa pale, nā meaʻai kūikawā, nā mea pāʻani a me nā puke. Ua hōʻoia pū ʻo ia i kāna kaikamahine e ʻike i nā mea āpau e puni ana iā ia e ʻaʻahu ana i nā makaaniani—makua, makuahine, heck a me nā kiʻi i loko o kekahi o kāna mau puke punahele, Ua hāʻawi mai kekahi o koʻu mau hoa makuahine iaʻu i kahi puke maikaʻi loa i kapa ʻia. Pono ʻo Arlo i nā aniani e pili ana i kahi ʻīlio e pono ai nā aniani. ʻIlio + puke = makaaniani gula.
Akā pehea inā e haehae ana kaʻu keiki iā lākou? (Maikaʻi loa ma ʻaneʻi!)

Ua ʻike nui koʻu hoaaloha i ka hoʻihoʻi hou ʻana, akā ua nānā ʻo ia a me kāna kāne i nā manawa kikoʻī e huhū ai ʻo Bernie a haehae i nā aniani—i ka hopena o ka lā i kona luhi ʻana, i ke kaʻa, a pēlā aku. paʻi i kēia mau manawa ʻoiai ua maopopo ʻo ia i kona palena. I ka wā i ala pono ai ʻo Bernie, i ka home a me ka ʻoluʻolu, ua komo lākou i kahi kīpē kiʻekiʻe: ʻO ka mea punahele a [Bernie] ʻo Facetime me kona mau hoahānau. No laila, hoʻomaka mākou e haʻi iā ia e ʻaʻahu ʻo ia i kona mau aniani inā makemake ʻo ia e kamaʻilio me lākou. Ma hope o kona kūʻē mua ʻana, hoʻomaka ʻo ia e pāʻani me nā aniani, e kau ana ma luna o kona poʻo. Ua ʻae mākou iā ia e ʻimi a lawe i kona manawa me lākou. Hoʻomaka liʻiliʻi ʻo ia e maʻa iā lākou a mālama iā lākou no ka lōʻihi. Ua hoʻomaka ʻo ia e ʻōlelo i ka huaʻōlelo 'aniani.'
