Felix wears a blue hoodie in front of a building with text that reads, tvokids presents.

Felix says, IS THERE A DOCTOR
IN THE HOUSE?

In a window of the building is Annie in a pink dress.

Annie says, YES AND HE'S A MOUSE.

In a window above Annie, Dr. Cheddar wears a stethoscope. He waves.

A narrator says, YOU'LL FEEL BETTER WITH DR. CHEDDAR.

Text on the building reads, Dr. Cheddar. Inside, Dr. Cheddar works on a tablet at a desk.

He says, AH, HELLO THERE!
DR. CHEDDAR HERE TO
HELP YOU FEEL BETTER.
A WHILE BACK, ANNIE FOUND A
PAIR OF HER MOTHER'S NEW GLASSES
AND SIMPLY HAD TO TRY THEM ON.
IT MADE THINGS BLURRY FOR HER.
AND SHE LEARNED THAT
EACH PAIR OF GLASSES
IS MADE ESPECIALLY FOR THE
PERSON WHO HAS TO WEAR THEM
TO HELP THEM SEE BETTER.
SINCE ANNIE WAS NOW GOING
TO SCHOOL EVERY DAY,
HER MOTHER MADE HER AN
APPOINTMENT WITH THE EYE DOCTOR,
JUST LIKE SHE HAD DONE
FOR HERSELF A BIT EARLIER.

Annie faces her mother.

Dr. Cheddar speaks as Annie.

He says, WILL IT HURT?

Dr. Cheddar speaks as Annie’s mother.

He says, NO, ANNIE.

At his desk, Dr. Cheddar says, YOU GET TO LOOK.
THROUGH SPECIAL MACHINES,
AND THEN THE EYE DOCTOR CAN
TELL IF YOU NEED GLASSES.
AND IF SO, WHICH SPECIAL
GLASSES YOU NEED.

Annie’s mom takes Annie’s hand.

Dr. Cheddar says, WHEN IT WAS TIME FOR ANNIE TO
SEE THE OPTOMETRIST
HER MOTHER CAME WITH HER INTO
THE CHECK UP ROOM.

Annie looks at a wall of eye glasses.

Dr. Cheddar says, SO MANY COOL GLASSES.

A person wears a button down shirt. They wave to Annie.

Dr. Cheddar says, WELCOME ANNIE RIGHT THIS WAY
SAID THE EYE DOCTOR.
ANNIE SAT IN A CHAIR AND LOOKED
THROUGH A SPECIAL MACHINE
CALLED A PHOROPTER.

The eye doctor lowers the phoropter in front of Annie.

Dr. Cheddar says, A PHOROPTER IS LIKE A
HUNDRED PAIRS OF GLASSES
BUILT INTO ONE.
SHE GOT TO SEE PICTURES OF
ANIMALS AND TOYS THE EYE DOCTOR
ADJUSTED THE MACHINE AND ANNIE'S
JOB WAS TO TELL THE DOCTOR
WHEN SHE SAW THE PICTURE MOST
CLEARLY.

The eye doctor adjusts the phoropter. The blurry pictures in front of Annie become clearer and clearer as the eye doctor adjusts the phoropter.

Dr. Cheddar says, CLICK. CLICK.
CLICK WENT THE MACHINE AND
SUDDENLY THE IMAGES WERE CLEAR
AGAIN. THEN THE DOCTOR
LOOKED CLOSELY AT ANNIE'S EYES.

Annie stands beside the eye doctor.

Dr. Cheddar says, ANNIE'S EYES ARE PERFECT THE
DOCTOR SAID.

Dr. Cheddar speaks as Annie.

He says, IF YOU LET ME BACK IN RIGHT
NOW
I'M SURE I CAN REDO THE TEST
BECAUSE I NEED GLASSES LIKE MOM.

The eye doctor holds up a finger.

Dr. Cheddar says, ONE MOMENT SAID THE DOCTOR.

The eye doctor steps out.

Dr. Cheddar speaks as Annie.

He says, HUH?

Annie looks to her mother. The eye doctor returns.

Dr. Cheddar says, THEN THE EYE DOCTOR GAVE ANNIE
A PAIR SUNGLASSES THAT SHE COULD
WEAR WHEN SHE'S OUTSIDE ON
BRIGHT OR WINDY DAYS.

Annie wears colourful sunglasses. Dr. Cheddar speaks as Annie.

He says, GOODBYE AND THANK YOU.

The eye doctor and Annie wave to each other as Annie leaves.

Dr. Cheddar says, TURNS OUT ANNIE DID NOT
GLASSES RIGHT NOW.

Annie leaves with her mother.

At his desk, Dr. Cheddar says, BUT, BY GOING TO THE
EYE DOCTOR EVERY YEAR,
ANNIE CAN CONTINUE TO CHECK
HOW HER EYES ARE DOING,
AND BY EATING HEALTHY FOODS
AND PROTECTING HER
EYES FROM THE SUN
WITH HER NEW SUNGLASSES,
WELL, SHE MAY NEVER NEED THEM.

Annie wears her sunglasses and a denim jacket. She adjusts her sunglasses.

Dr. Cheddar says, EVEN IF SHE WOULD LIKE TO
WEAR GLASSES ALL THE TIME.

Dr. Cheddar chuckles quietly.

He says, THIS IS DR. CHEDDAR,
HOPING YOU FEEL BETTER
ABOUT GETTING AN EYE EXAM.
GOODBYE!

Dr. Cheddar chuckles and waves.

(Cheerful music plays)

Felix, Dr. Cheddar and Annie watch fireworks go off in the sky at night.

They say, WOAH!

Dr. Cheddar says, WHOA, LOVELY.
