Kimmy and her daddy are on their way 

to the eye doctor's office. Kimmy is 

actually excited! She wants to learn all 

about her eyes. 

"Daddy, what do your eyes do?" she 

asks. 

"Your eyes help you see everything 

around you." her daddy replies. 

"We're here! We're here!" Kimmy 

shouts. 

Once inside the 

office, Kimmy's 

daddy goes and 

signs her in. After 

a few minutes the 

nurse comes in 

and calls her 

name. 

While Kimmy was in the exam 

room she asked the doctor all 

about sight. He told her, "The 

eyes are the part of the body 

that lets you see your daddy. 

The eyes work by allowing 

light to enter the pupil. The 

colored part of your eye ,or 

the iris, changes the size of 

the pupil, the lens makes the 

light focus on the back of the 

eye, and the retina changes 

the light into the image that 

you see. Does that make 

sense?" he asked. 

"Yes! Thanks sooo much." 

This is a picture of the eye!

"Aren't there sicknesses of the eyes?" asked Kimmy. 

"Why yes there are." said the Doctor. "Glaucoma, which is a group of 

diseases that leads to damage to the nerve in the eye that helps us see. 

Another disease is myopia. Myopia is where you can see things up close but 

can't see them far away. Astigmatism is a disorder of the eye where the front 

of the eye is abnormally curved. Presbyopia is where you cannot see things 

up close, but you can see things far away. Cataract is where there is a 

cloudiness in the lens. Another common disease is conjunctivitis which is an 

swelling of the eye. It is also called pink eye. These are the most common 

eye diseases. 

"Thank you Doctor! I hope she didn't ask too many question." 

said Kimmy's Daddy.

"No she was no bother." said the Doctor. 

"Mommy what helps us hear things?" asked Kimmy.

"Our ears help us hear all the noises that we hear." replied her 

mom. 

"How?" questioned Kimmy.

"Sound goes through the ear canal and vibrates against the 

eardrum. That's what causes us to hear." said her mommy. 

"Can i see a picture of an ear?" asked Kimmy.

"Sure" said her mom. 

"My eye doctor told me about some diseases that happen to the eye. Are 

there any that happen to the ears?" asked Kimmy.

"Yes there are four major diseases Otitis, Meniere’s Disease, Otosclerosis, 

Presbycusis. Otitis is an infection of the ear. Meniere's Disease is a disease 

that causes random episodes 

of vertigo, which is a spinning motion. Otosclerosis is abnormal bone growth 

in the ear. This can cause you to stop hearing. Presbycusis is hearing lose 

that happens when you get older. These are the disease that i deal wit 

everyday." said her mommy. 

"Thanks Mommy!! I just love learing about senses! Maybe ill become a 

doctor like you!!" said Kimmy.
