Optometrists By Jennifer Kenny

¹     Allison was having trouble seeing the blackboard in her classroom and the television in her living room. Her mom made an appointment with an optometrist after school.
 
²     "Hi, Mom!" Allison yelled.
 
³     "Are you ready?" her mom asked.
 
⁴     "All set," Allison said.
 
⁵     So Allison and her mom got in the car. When they headed to the mall, Allison asked, "Why are we going this way? I thought we were going to the doctor."
 
⁶     "We are," Allison's mom said.
 
⁷     "At the mall?" Allison questioned.
 
⁸     "The optometrist works at the optical store at the mall," her mom said.
 
⁹     "Is he qualified to look at my eyes?" Allison asked.
 
¹⁰     "Of course," her mom said. "I wouldn't take you to anyone who wasn't."
 
¹¹     "We'll see," Allison said, still sounding very skeptical.
 
¹²     "An optometrist is a doctor of optometry, or OD. He offers vision care to patients," Mom said.
 
¹³     When Allison and her mom reached the optical store, they sat down in the waiting room. After filling out some paperwork, the optometrist took Allison to the examination room.
 
¹⁴     "I'm afraid Allison is a little skeptical about being here for her exam," her mom offered.
