Video: Truffles the Cat Helps Kids Get Comfortable Wearing Eyeglasses
Getting your first pair of eyeglasses can be tough for a little kid. A Child’s Eyes optical shop in Pennsylvania makes it easier with the help of a very chill glasses-wearing rescue cat named Truffles.
Shop owner Danielle Crull has done an amazing job training Truffles to wear glasses, and even perform a few tricks. Danielle says Truffles makes small children feel more comfortable with the process of trying on and getting used to wearing glasses.
Truffles even wears a pair of glasses with an eye patch to help children with amblyopia (or “lazy eye”) get over any concerns they have about wearing a patch themselves.
You can follow the adventures of Truffles on the A Child’s Eyes Facebook page. Here’s a cute video of Truffles in action, from CBS News:
