Plot
Tommy and Chuckie are playing with Reptars. Tommy shakes his and holds the toy at arm's length. Chuckie holds his in front of his face and squints, they both growl. Then they play tag, but Chuckie mistakes the TV and the chair for Tommy and falls over, tripping over the footstool. Stu turns on the TV and the boys watch Dummi Bears; Chuckie sits really close to the TV as he can't see well. Then they go out and play. Chas and Didi are aerating the lawn. Chuckie walks to Charles but bumps into a bush. Mr. Finster says that it was how he acted before he got glasses and to schedule an appointment at the eye doctor. Tommy says doctors aren't so bad, but Chuckie says he hates them, they are scary. Charles tries to reassure Chuckie but Grandpa Lou says he feels like a human windshield and it took him fifteen years to get used to wearing glasses. Didi says Tommy should come as it would be educational and Chas says Tommy should come as it would comfort Chuckie. At the optician's office Dr. Pedop tests Chas's eyes and lets Tommy and Chuckie play with the light. She then gives an eye exam to the Finsters by asking them where the big Es on the chart are pointing and tries a machine on Tommy and Chuckie. Afterwards, she says Chuckie will need glasses and gives the boys lollipops. The boys then try on many different pairs of glasses. Tommy also tries on a snorkel and a visor. Chuckie is happy with the ones he now wears on the show.
