These days almost every other person has these glasses on their faces and many of them really don't appreciate this extra burden
Choosing your first ever pair of glasses is one unnerving task and when you are a kid it gets even more difficult. No kid likes a pair of spectacles hanging on their nose every day so making them choose one can be tough.
To resolve such a situation, one optician has hired the purr-fect employee to make kids feel they are not alone and that wearing glasses doesn't make them any different from others.

Truffles is very serious about her im-paw-tant job
The man behind this incredible idea is Danielle Crull, who owns 'A Child’s Eyes' in Mechanicburg, Pennsylvania. Danielle adopted the cat who he named Truffles back in 2016, and then gave her a very im-paw-tant role at her opticians.

Truffles can rock not one but 20 amazing glasses and also an eyepatch
Optician Danielle has fully trained his beloved cat who can now rock 20 different style glasses. All the glasses are without lenses, Truffles can also wear a pair of sunglasses with lenses and even an eyepatch, all this just to remind kids that wearing glasses can be a fun thing.
She wears an eyepatch for those kids who are diagnosed with amblyopia, which is often known as a lazy eye, and are given an eyepatch as treatment. This way, the kids look at Truffles and want to rock the eyepatch just like that amazing kitty.

Truffles reminds little kids how strong they are
‘One of the best reminders for those that face hard times and struggles is to know you are not alone. Kids who patch their eyes to treat amblyopia and other vision disorders need to know this one simple thing…they are not alone,’ a post on Truffles’ Facebook reads.
‘When a child wears an eye patch, it can be uncomfortable, they suffer decreased vision and they often feel all alone in their struggle. That’s why support groups for families with amblyopia are so important. When I child sees another child patching, or maybe a kitty like me, they know they can do it too!’
