Is your child
is performing poorly at school?
Be sure to have his or her eyes examined this summer by an
eye doctor to rule out an underlying visual cause.
Without a
comprehensive eye exam, it's hard to know if your child is suffering from any
kind of vision impairment. However, if your child is having trouble with his or her
eyes, he or she may exhibit specific physical and behavioural signs. Here are some
common ones to look out for:
Physical Signs
- One or
both eyelids droop
- Iris of
one or both eyes appears cloudy
- Excessive
tearing in one or both eyes
- Sensitivity
to light, excessive blinking in bright light
- Persistent
redness in or around the eye(s)
- Swelling
or discharge from the eye(s)
Behavioural Signs
- Rubs eyes
frequently
- Consistently
sits too close to the TV
- Holds
items close to face to read
- Squinting
to see things close up or at a distance
- Tilts head
to one side to see better
- Closes one
eye to read, watch TV, or see better
If your child
exhibits any of these physical or behavioural signs, take him or her in for a thorough eye exam.
