We use our eyes to see, but we don't all see the same things. Ever wonder why some people need glasses, what it looks like to be color blind, or what it means to be nearsighted? With kid-friendly explanations of vision, light, color, and eye anatomy, How Do You See the World? explores a variety of eye conditions and the helpful tools that people use to better see the world around them.
