Imagine being a child, unable to see well<\/a>. Your eyes are tested, dilated, puffed with air or squirted with liquid, and now you\u2019re told you\u2019ll need to wear glasses. Or perhaps, an eye patch. It can all be very scary.<\/p>\n

Enter master optician Danielle Crull, who started her practice in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, specifically for youth\u2014infants through teens\u2014who need glasses. In 2002, she opened A Child\u2019s Eyes, the first independent optical shop of its kind in the United States, and now runs the practice with the help of her husband and their three children, who are all in their twenties and board-certified opticians.<\/p>\n

Wearing glasses as a kid prompted Danielle\u2019s interest in the field and she jumped in with an apprenticeship right out of high school, before earning her national certifications. Her work with a pediatric ophthalmologist gave her hands-on experience and made her see the need for child-focused opticians.<\/p>\n

While her practice was her priority, Danielle also made time to sing in the family band at a nearby church camp. They were a big hit\u2014and not just with people. Stray cats<\/a> and their kittens would roam around as the band jammed. After one gig, her kids begged her to keep the last kitten from a litter. They already had two cats at home, \u201cbut of course they wore me down,\u201d says Danielle. \u201cShe was this little growling furball who didn\u2019t want to be held.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yet Danielle and the Maine Coon, Truffles, bonded quickly, and the kitten revealed her treat-motivated personality. \u201cThat discovery showed me she could be taught very easily,\u201d Danielle says. Truffles quickly learned to sit, stand, high-five and wave. \u201cI\u2019m no cat trainer<\/a>. She\u2019s just really smart,\u201d Danielle admits.<\/p>\n

Truffles first accompanied Danielle to A Child\u2019s Eyes in 2018, joining a bird and hermit crabs Danielle describes as her \u201cweapons to get kids distracted and comfortable.\u201d She fit the fuss-free feline with glasses (without lenses), sizing her frames just as she would for a child.<\/p>\n

\"\"\u201cShe is magic with the kiddos,\u201d says Danielle, whose customers range from four months to 18 years old. \u201cThe young children are especially leery after all the testing they\u2019ve gone through. I\u2019ll say, \u2018Truffles wants to show you her glasses,\u2019 and she normalizes it for them within just a few minutes.\u201d Truffles also uses her super smarts to allay kids\u2019 fear of testing. She demonstrates how to do a shape test, identifying an apple and a circle with a tap of her paw.<\/p>\n

Just like a growing kid, Truffles had to be refitted after a few years. She\u2019ll bat her glasses off when she\u2019s tired but has also been known to fall asleep in them. If a child suffers from amblyopia (a weaker eye) and needs an eye patch, Danielle adds a patch to Truffles\u2019 glasses. And for kids who can\u2019t visit the office, Truffles stars in a series of videos about eye exams and glasses care on trufflesthekitty.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery day I see Truffles fulfill her purpose<\/a> through these children,\u201d says Danielle. \u201cIf God had a plan for Truffles, then there isn\u2019t anyone on this earth that he doesn\u2019t have a plan for.\u201d<\/p>\n
