Children's
Vision |

|
One of the biggest problems with determining if a child has visual
problems is that he is unlikely to
speak up about it. So here are some signs to watch out for:
- Holding
objects very close to the eyes.
- Excessive
rubbing, blinking or squinting of the eyes.
- Tilting
the head to one side.
- Moving
the head (and not the eye) when reading.
- Headaches
after reading.
- Red
or watery eyes (which could also be a sign of allergies).
- Poor
hand-eye coordination (this may also reflect muscle problems).
Children’s glasses
If
a visual problem is detected and children do require glasses, here are
some helpful hints:
- Choose glasses with
cable temples that wrap around the ear so they can’t come off
easily.
- Durable, malleable
metals and hard plastics are likely to withstand all the punishment
a child can muster.
- Light-weight eyewear
is best for children because heavier glasses often leave red marks
on the nose.
- Bright, colorful
frames are especially popular with children.
