Dr. Samantha Slotnick, behavioral optometrist at Mind-Body-World Optometry in Scarsdale, has recently published a new children’s book, But MOMMY, I Can SEE! Illustrated by Daniel W. Miller, this engaging story follows Sylvia on her journey with glasses. Like many of the patients in Slotnick’s practice, Sylvia has received glasses at the early stages of her vision problem. It’s love at first “sight”, but when the excitement of the accessory wears off, it is a challenge for Sylvia to remember to wear her glasses—especially when she realizes she can “see” without them.

The illustrations alone tell the story, with relatable characterizations, emotions and a blend of cartoon whimsy with realistic touches. Children and adults alike will readily identify with Sylvia and the grownups in her life, learning quite a bit about the visual system along the way.

At Mind-Body-World Optometry, Slotnick supports “children of all ages” with a holistic approach to vision care. “Rather than treat just the eyes, or even just the visual system, we consider each patient’s needs, traits and lifestyle in conjunction with visual function requirements. With an eye toward prevention, we manage long-range concerns by addressing problems at the source rather than just treating the symptoms,” Slotnick observers.
