Sight is one of the five senses and is one of the most important. Without our eyes we could not see where we are going and the many wonders of the world. Some people have to wear glasses to see better as their eyesight may not be as strong as it should be. Eyes should be protected in playing any sport where there is a chance of them getting injured (eg. playing hockey, racquetball, football etc. ) or at some jobs (welders. painters carpenters etc.). If you are reading a book, looking at pictures or watching TV and they don't look clear to you, then you may require glasses. A check-up with an optometrist would be in order. If you get something in your eyes that hurts, don't rub them but call out for help. Rubbing them could make it worse. People sometimes have allergic reactions that are caused by a wide variety of things and make your eyes sore, itchy and all red. There are medicines that you can buy at the pharmacy that will help make them feel better.

FRACTURES - There are hundreds of bones in your body. When you fall or bang into something really hard you may fracture a bone. If this happens, you cannot tell, so you will have to go and get a picture taken by a special camera (x-ray) that sees inside your body. Stay very still so the doctor can get good pictures. This special picture will tell the doctor if the bone is fractured or not. If it is fractured, don't worry because bones can heal themselves if they are placed in a cast. You might have to wear this for several weeks and go to sleep with it on.
