A pair of glasses opened a new world of wonder for a 7-month-old.

Dana Dettmer of Omaha, Nebraska noticed her baby, Pita, frequently tilting her head to one side. After consulting with a pediatrician, Dana took her daughter to a chiropractor. However, Pita’s condition didn’t improve, so Dana consulted an optometrist.

“I work for an optometrist,” Dana said. “She suggested we have Pita’s vision checked, as she might be tilting her head due to poor vision.”

Pita underwent an eye exam that revealed she needed glasses to see clearly.

Watch the video to see Pita’s priceless reaction when she received her first pair of glasses!

To celebrate solving Pita's vision problems, Dana took her on an adventure to the zoo.

“She really studied everything and she particularly loved the aquarium,” Dana said.

OPINION - Vladimir Putin using North Korean troops could become a nightmare for Russia — and China
Donald Trump has promised to settle the Ukraine war within 24 hours – and so many expect a difficult peace, a “dirty deal” according to Max Hastings, early next year. Russian forces are now on a roll, pushing along nearly 800 miles of front in Ukraine itself, and squeezing Ukraine forces in the pocket of Russian territory round Kursk they took last summer. Any deal for ceasefire and armistice wouldn’t be Trump’s but Putin’s. Right now, Putin’s team have said they are no mood for talks to end the war.
