Through a Child’s Eyes

What are some practical things you can do for children’s eye safety? One thing is schedule an eye exam for your child. We normally think of vision declining in adulthood. But congenital conditions can develop much earlier. This impairs learning and may be a reason for low grades. Your child’s eye doctor can help detect refractive errors such as near­sighted­ness, far­sighted­ness and astigmatism as well as the following diseases:

• Amblyopia (lazy eye)
• Strabismus (crossed eyes)
• Ptosis (drooping of the eyelid)
• Color deficiency (color blindness)

Telltale signs of vision problems are squinting, headaches, lack of concentration or reading comprehension. Remote learning involves more screen time. Staring at the light they emit may require eyeglasses with special filters to reduce eye strain.
