Good vision is important for a child’s learning, development, school performance, sports, and everyday activities. Children may not always recognize or communicate a vision problem.
Signs parents should watch for
- Sitting very close to the television
- Holding books very close to the face
- Difficulty seeing the classroom board
- Frequent squinting or eye rubbing
- Headaches while studying
- Difficulty reading or focusing
- Closing one eye while looking at something
- Complaints of blurred vision
If you notice these signs, consider getting your child’s eyes examined by an eye specialist.
