0:00:23 > 0:00:27This is Isabel and she is four years old.
0:00:27 > 0:00:29- Shall we go down here?- Yeah.
0:00:29 > 0:00:32- MUM GASPS - Look at the lovely flowers.
0:00:32 > 0:00:35- Can you see them? - Yeah, and a bee.- And a bee?
0:00:35 > 0:00:37Can you see a bee, can you?
0:00:37 > 0:00:39Isabel likes to go bug hunting.
0:00:39 > 0:00:42Where do you think it's going to be? Shall we go and have a look
0:00:42 > 0:00:44- down here?- Yeah.- Come on then.
0:00:44 > 0:00:48Today, Isabel is going to do something new for the first time.
0:00:48 > 0:00:50But what will it be?
0:00:50 > 0:00:52This is Isabel's memory box.
0:00:52 > 0:00:55It helps her remember all the exciting things that happen.
0:00:55 > 0:00:58See if you can spot anything going in it today.
0:00:58 > 0:01:02- Let's have a little look. Can you see any bugs yet?- No.
0:01:02 > 0:01:07If you look in the trees here, they might have some there.
0:01:07 > 0:01:08Do you want to see
0:01:08 > 0:01:12if you can see any bugs on there with your magnifying glass?
0:01:12 > 0:01:19- Is there any on there?- No, just lots of horns.- Lots of horns?- Yeah.- OK.
0:01:19 > 0:01:23- What's in the flower, can you see? - A bee.- Is there a bee in there?
0:01:23 > 0:01:26Shall we see if we can catch that one?
0:01:26 > 0:01:28- Do you want to try and catch it?- No, you.
0:01:28 > 0:01:31Shall we catch it with the flower?
0:01:32 > 0:01:34Have you caught it?
0:01:37 > 0:01:42- Oh, yeah, he's in there. - Yes, I got one!
0:01:42 > 0:01:47Now Isabel has finished looking at the bee, she can let it go.
0:01:48 > 0:01:53Isabel, look what Mum's found, snails!
0:01:53 > 0:01:59- Can you see the big one?- Yeah.- Can you see the little one?- No, I can't.
0:01:59 > 0:02:04Oh, dear, Isabel. I wonder why you can't see the little snail.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07- Maybe we should get your eyes tested.- Yeah.
0:02:07 > 0:02:11Come on then, shall we go and release these ones?
0:02:11 > 0:02:14An eye test sounds like a good idea.
0:02:16 > 0:02:22The first thing to go into Isabel's memory box is a magnifying glass.
0:02:22 > 0:02:26As Isabel is struggling to see, her mum has brought her for an eye test.
0:02:26 > 0:02:29I came to have my eyes tested.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32Excellent, take a seat, be with you in a moment.
0:02:32 > 0:02:36Our eyes are really important to us, as they help us to see
0:02:36 > 0:02:38everything we look at.
0:02:38 > 0:02:42It's important that we get our eyes checked regularly by an optician,
0:02:42 > 0:02:45who can see if our eyes are working properly.
0:02:45 > 0:02:49Sometimes, people wear glasses to help them see better.
0:02:49 > 0:02:53- Hello, Isabel. Have you come to let me look at your eyes today?- Yeah.
0:02:53 > 0:02:56Do you want to come on through?
0:02:56 > 0:02:58So, why've you come in to see me today?
0:02:58 > 0:03:00I couldn't see the little bugs.
0:03:00 > 0:03:03You couldn't see the little bugs? What happened, Mum?
0:03:03 > 0:03:06We were out bug hunting this morning
0:03:06 > 0:03:09and she couldn't see the little tiny snail in the bug box.
0:03:09 > 0:03:13OK, I'm really glad you've come in to see me today.
0:03:13 > 0:03:16I can have a really good look at your eyes and see if I can help.
0:03:16 > 0:03:21The first thing we're going to do is we're going to see what you can see.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24I need to make you go a lot higher in that chair.
0:03:24 > 0:03:26Are you ready? I've got a magic button.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30It goes all the way up. How high do you think you're going to go?
0:03:30 > 0:03:31Up we go.
0:03:31 > 0:03:34- Is that high enough?- No.- No? I'm in trouble, then.
0:03:34 > 0:03:37Let's have a look. I think that's high enough.
0:03:37 > 0:03:39I think you can see there.
0:03:39 > 0:03:43Isabel tries some special glasses, so the optician can test her eyes.
0:03:43 > 0:03:47Can you tell me what pictures you can see up there in the mirror?
0:03:47 > 0:03:50An aeroplane, scissors, a fish, a welly boot and a car.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53Brilliant, that's fantastic. Well done.
0:03:53 > 0:03:55Let's have a look with your other eye.
0:03:55 > 0:03:59There are lots of different tests for the optician to
0:03:59 > 0:04:02do to find out exactly how healthy your eyes are.
0:04:02 > 0:04:05So, now, Isabel, I want you to look at the little bird here
0:04:05 > 0:04:08and I want you to tell me what colour it is.
0:04:08 > 0:04:12- Green and yellow.- Very good. You keep looking at that budgie.
0:04:12 > 0:04:15I'm going to bring it closer and closer and closer.
0:04:15 > 0:04:19Well done. You're good at that. So, I'm going to have a look with this.
0:04:19 > 0:04:21It's a big microscope.
0:04:21 > 0:04:23It's got a big lens and a strong light in it,
0:04:23 > 0:04:26so I can have a really good look at your eyes.
0:04:26 > 0:04:29If you come forward and pop your chin on the chin rest.
0:04:29 > 0:04:31And your forehead forwards.
0:04:31 > 0:04:36I'm going to look down the microscope into your eye.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38I can see your eyelids and your eyelashes.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41I can see your pupils, I can your iris, which is
0:04:41 > 0:04:43the blue bit at the front of your eye.
0:04:43 > 0:04:46Isabel, we can see your eye on the screen.
0:04:46 > 0:04:48Isabel, I've had a good look
0:04:48 > 0:04:51at your eyes and they're beautifully healthy.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53Your eyes are working a little too hard.
0:04:53 > 0:04:56I'm going to organise a pair of glasses for you, so that
0:04:56 > 0:05:01your eyes work the correct amount and you can see things more easily.
0:05:01 > 0:05:04Like those little bugs that you were looking at yesterday.
0:05:04 > 0:05:08- So, would you like to choose some nice new glasses?- Yeah.
0:05:08 > 0:05:10There are so many colours
0:05:10 > 0:05:14and styles to choose from for the frames of your glasses.
0:05:14 > 0:05:18Now, those aren't quite the right style for you.
0:05:18 > 0:05:21Let's try a different pair. Thank you.
0:05:24 > 0:05:28Those are not quite the right colour, are they?
0:05:28 > 0:05:31How about we try these? Try those.
0:05:33 > 0:05:37Ah, now, those are the right size and the right colour for you.
0:05:37 > 0:05:41Shall we take some measurements to make sure they fit you properly?
0:05:41 > 0:05:44Now that Isabel has chosen her frames,
0:05:44 > 0:05:46she needs to get lenses to go in them.
0:05:46 > 0:05:48That's the bit that helps her see.
0:05:51 > 0:05:56The second thing to go into the memory box is an eye test.
0:05:57 > 0:06:02Isabel has come to the factory to watch her lenses being made.
0:06:02 > 0:06:06The factory makes lenses, which can help you see better.
0:06:06 > 0:06:08They're a bit like a magnifying glass.
0:06:08 > 0:06:13These are then fitted in frames, which make our glasses.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16Isabel is shown around the factory.
0:06:16 > 0:06:20As everything is so clean, she has to wear a special white coat.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25So, this is where we start to make your lenses.
0:06:25 > 0:06:27What's that over there?
0:06:27 > 0:06:32That's where the plastic that we make your lens from comes from.
0:06:34 > 0:06:36- Lots of boxes.- Lots of boxes, yeah.
0:06:38 > 0:06:43Look, Isabel, they've started to make your lenses.
0:06:43 > 0:06:46First, they pour really hot plastic into a mould
0:06:46 > 0:06:49and leave it to set hard.
0:06:52 > 0:06:56Next, the lenses are cut to size to fit your frames.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58That's the lenses there.
0:06:58 > 0:07:02When they're finished, they'll come around here
0:07:02 > 0:07:04and go onto the next piece.
0:07:07 > 0:07:10After Isabel's lenses have been cut,
0:07:10 > 0:07:13they go on a long journey right around the factory,
0:07:13 > 0:07:15where lots of different people
0:07:15 > 0:07:20and machines have special jobs to make sure your lenses are perfect.
0:07:20 > 0:07:25Your lenses need polishing, to make sure they're smooth.
0:07:25 > 0:07:29Cleaned, to make sure there is no dirt on them and then
0:07:29 > 0:07:32coated in a special, invisible paint,
0:07:32 > 0:07:34to protect them from scratches.
0:07:34 > 0:07:36Finally, your lenses are inspected,
0:07:36 > 0:07:40to make sure they are fine to be sent to the optician's.
0:07:40 > 0:07:45Now Isabel's lenses are finished, there is only one thing left to do.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48We'll send them out to the optician in the post.
0:07:50 > 0:07:53So let's go and see your lenses being sent out.
0:07:53 > 0:07:55Do you want to scan the lens?
0:07:57 > 0:07:59BEEP
0:07:59 > 0:08:02OK. That's the ticket to the post address.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06Stick it on the label.
0:08:06 > 0:08:12Now, the lenses can be put into Isabel's frames at the optician's.
0:08:15 > 0:08:20The third thing to go into the memory box is the lens factory.
0:08:20 > 0:08:24The big day has arrived for Isabel to get her glasses.
0:08:24 > 0:08:28- Hello, Isabel, how are you? - I've come to collect my lenses.
0:08:28 > 0:08:31Fantastic, I'll go and get them for you.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34- Look what we've got in here for you. - Wow!
0:08:34 > 0:08:37Those are your new glasses. Can you unzip them?
0:08:41 > 0:08:47- Wow! And my own cleaning cloth. - Even your own cleaning cloth.
0:08:47 > 0:08:50- Look at my cleaning cloth, Mum. - That's lovely.
0:08:50 > 0:08:54Shall we put these on and make sure they fit your properly?
0:08:54 > 0:08:56Put these on.
0:08:56 > 0:08:58SHE GASPS
0:08:58 > 0:09:01Look at yourself in the mirror. Don't you look great?
0:09:01 > 0:09:04Shall I just check they fit you properly?
0:09:04 > 0:09:07And then look at yourself in that mirror over there.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10Wow, those glasses really suit you, Isabel.
0:09:10 > 0:09:13You'll definitely see much better now.
0:09:13 > 0:09:18- What do you think of your glasses? - Good.- I think they're very pretty.
0:09:18 > 0:09:24The fourth thing to go into the memory box are Isabel's glasses.
0:09:24 > 0:09:28- Are you better now you've got your glasses? Can you see more?- Yeah.
0:09:28 > 0:09:33- Yeah, is everything clearer?- Yeah. And I can see where I'm going.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36Isabel likes wearing her new glasses.
0:09:36 > 0:09:40They really help her to see everything more clearly.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43- I don't think dolphins need glasses, do they?- Yeah.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45They don't need glasses!
0:09:45 > 0:09:50- The snake does.- Yeah, just like you with your glasses. Now you can see.
0:09:50 > 0:09:54Today, Isabel got a pair of glasses. Do you remember what happened?
0:09:54 > 0:09:57Let's have a look in the memory box.
0:09:57 > 0:10:02First, Isabel went bug hunting, but couldn't see the snail properly.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04After that, Isabel got her eyes tested
0:10:04 > 0:10:08and found out that she needed glasses.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12Next, Isabel went to the factory to see her lenses being made.
0:10:12 > 0:10:16And, finally, Isabel collected her glasses from the optician's.
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Today, Isabel got a pair of glasses.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22There is a First Time for everything.
