A young British girl was left suffering headaches and nausea for more than two years after bungling opticians fitted her spectacle lenses the wrong way round.
But when the blunder was spotted the opticians offered her a cheap bottle of lens cleaner in compensation, The Sun reported.
Staff at opticians Specsavers mixed up the left and right prescription lenses for seven-year-old Tayla Don.
Tayla's mother, Beverley, 39, ended up taking her to hospital - where a routine eye inspection revealed the mistake.
She said: "We'd wondered why her eyesight wasn't getting better. I'd thought several times the glasses didn't seem to be doing much good at all.
"I hope it hasn't caused permanent damage."
Ms Don bought the pink-framed glasses in June 2008 at her local Specsavers in Milton Keynes, central England - and took them back when Tayla's symptoms emerged.
But staff said her headaches and feelings of sickness were a normal reaction and would pass.
Tayla has now been given a stronger prescription by doctors and fitted with new spectacles.
Beverley said: "She said things were no longer blurry, so we assume the old glasses blurred her vision."
Specsavers apologised for the mistake and offered Tayla a complimentary bottle of lens cleaner worth only $5.
Store director Raj Shah said: "We take customer care extremely seriously."

This article is about a young girl that was left suffering from sick for more than two years. That was happened after unskilled optician fixed her spectacle lenses the wrong way around. The girl, Tayla Don, 7, has been given a cheap bottle of lens clearer in compensation. The unskilled optician has mixed up the left and right lenses. As the result, the girl was suffering from headaches and nausea. As a precaution, I suggest to those who are wearing spectacle to check properly where they check their eyes from. It is because once we are wearing the wrong lenses, it will affect our eyesight as well. Our eyesight will turns even worse and we might suffer from sick. As a conclusion, to make a spectacle, choose an established optician centre and try to avoid from buying the cheap spectacle. Remember, our eyes is more valuable than the money..
