Stage hypnotists are highly trained people who know how to put on a good show.

Mostly because we're all newbies to the series. That's not to say we don't like Classic Who (between us there's unhealthy interest in Four, Six, Romana Mk II and the TARDIS) but simply because we couldn't do it justice.

At the time of birth a child's vision is not fully developed. Major changes take place in the first years of life. Significant eye problems in very young children are relatively uncommon (except for crossed eyes) but, when present, they must be treated very early in life.

Infants and children need to have their eyes examined between 3 and 6 months of age.
