A GIRL was diagnosed with a brain tumour after her brother tried on their mum’s glasses.
Grace and Alex Morley were taken for eye tests when their parents realised he needed specs.
Experts thought Grace’s eyes looked pale and referred her to hospital.
An MRI scan revealed a lump and Grace, eight, had it removed.
The operation took 6½-hours and left her with a 6-inch scar.
Mum Rachael, 43, wed to David in Chineham, Hants, said: “If Alex hadn’t tried on my glasses, they may not have found Grace’s tumour in time.
“He’s very proud of that.”
Grace made a miraculous recovery, nurses removed the bandage the next morning and she was discharged on February 16.
Proud Rachael added: “I get more upset when I get a papercut. It was insane.
“She has a whopping great scar on the back of her head.
“The nurse said ‘Tell everyone you’ve been attacked by a shark’ – so that is what she goes around telling everyone.
Rachael now urged more parents to get their kids eyes tested.
