Many children with learning-related problems may have 20/20 distance vision. However they may have great difficulty with near vision tasks. Most school screening only tests children distance vision. Therefore many visual problems are not detected with only an eye screening.
The following are warning signs of vision problems:
- Frequent rubbing or blinking of eyes
- Short attention span or drowsiness with near work
- Re-reads or skips words
- Avoiding near work
- A drop in scholastic or sports performance
- Covering one eye
- Tilting the head (when reading)
- Squinting one or both eyes
- Placing head close to book or desk
- Poor hand-eye coordination
- Burning or itchy eyes
Recommended Vision Exam Schedule: 6 Months old, 3 Years old, before starting kindergarten, and annually thereafter, or as recommended by the optometrist.
