Trending NowLittle girl’s eye patches are taking over the Internet for an adorable reason
One dad has turned a medical necessity into a beautiful ritual and future memory for his daughter.
Layla Grubb has a small cataract in her left eye, and doctors have instructed her to wear an eye patch for two hours daily, to encourage healthy development. She's been wearing them since she was 8 months old.
Each day, her loving father, Geof, draws fun artwork on her patch to make it more exciting. He snaps a photo of his daughter wearing his latest patch, and chronicles their journey on Instagram.
Grubb’s eye-patch artwork features many of his favorite childhood characters, which he enjoys sharing with his daughter.
Layla is now 18 months old, and may have to continue wearing the patches until she is 5. She doesn’t love wearing them, but luckily she has a dad who works to make the experience more meaningful.
