So Much More to Vision than Seeing

A Developmental optometric colleague in Israel just sent an email to his fellow optometrists.  It’s a beautiful demonstration to stop for a moment and take notice as to what is really important in life:

“I just wanted to share something that happened today that reminded me that I practice optometry in Jerusalem.

I was examining an 8 year old kid. He looked like a regular kid wearing a T-shirt and shorts. I was in the middle of doing retinoscopy and in the distance I could hear the siren of an ambulance, as I do from time to time.

The 8 yr old boy asked me if I could stop the exam. I thought that he wanted to go to the bathroom. But what he did instead was to recite Psalm121 by heart in Hebrew to pray for the well-being of whoever it was in that ambulance . When he finished, he let me carry on.
