Your Eyesight Will Improve Significantly

Children Eye Health

Eye care isn’t just for adults. In fact,maintaining your children’s eye health is critical, because a child’s visual development reaches maturity between the ages of 9 and 11. Early diagnosis can mean the difference between normal vision and a permanently “lazy” eye. But would you know if your child had a problem with his sight? Unfortunately, children often accept their vision problems as normal because they simply don’t know better or cannot find the words to communicate what is occurring. And very often kids with vision problems are mislabeled as having a learning disability. But now is the perfect time to take a closer look at your child’s sight.

Look Smart

The kids are going back to school. There will be the usual grumbling about too much homework and who gets to sit in the chair closest to the TV.

You may be tempted to dismiss these behaviors as childish complaints, but they may hold important clues about potential vision problems. Although teachers are often the first to notice students’ vision changes, concerned parents will want to be on the alert for the following signs that their child’s sight may need correction:

• Consistently sitting too close to the TV or holding a book too close
• Losing his or her place while reading
• Using a finger
  to follow along while reading
• Squinting
• Tilting
  the head to see better
• Frequent eye rubbing
• Sensitivity to light
• Excessive tearing
• Closing one eye to read, watch TV, or see better
• Avoidingactivities which require near vision, such as reading or homework, or distance vision, such as participating in sports or other recreational activities
• Complaining of headaches or tired eyes
• Complaining online sales that computer use hurts the eyes
• Receiving lower grades than usual

According to Prevent Blindness America, vision problems affect one in four school-age children.

Refractive s like myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and
astigmatism (blurriness caused by an irregularly shaped cornea) are the main concerns
for school-age children.

According To The National Eye Institute: Pre School Vision Testing It is estimated that up to 15 percent of preschool children between the ages of three and five have an eye or vision condition that, if not corrected, can result in reduced vision,” said Paulette P. Schmidt, O.D., M.S., chairperson of the VIP Study and a professor of optometry and vision science at The Ohio State University College of Optometry. “Unfortunately, many parents are unaware that their child has an eye problem because vision problems do not hurt and children do not know how well they should see.”
