doctors of Reddit what’s the biggest case of faking it you’ve ever seen one my cousin got glasses her seven-year-old little sister also wanted glasses because she thought it was so cool to wear them so she started telling her teachers she couldn’t read what was on the chalkboard and she’d squint at home and go incredibly close to the TV to watch things because she said she couldn’t see things clearly her parents got worried and took her to the doctor she read everything wrong on the vision test everyone seemed convinced that she needed glasses but the doctor was a little concerned because the tests indicated she needed really thick glasses and usually that wasn’t the case unless there was a family history of vision issues her parents both had 2020 vision and her sister only had a stigmatism they all realized she was faking it so the doctor told her parents in front of her that she’d need some pretty intense eye surgery so she’d be able to see without glasses they even wheeled in a machine to make it convincing to say they could do the surgery right then and there she freaked out confessed to faking it all and started to cry she got grounded for a while
