As children grow, their vision needs can change, especially with all the visual demands of schoolāwhether they're in the classroom or learning from home. If their vision isn't up to the task, it can affect their focus, concentration and performance in school. But sometimes, vision problems are more subtle.
Here are 4 hidden signs your child might have a vision problem:
1ļø. Short attention span:
If your child loses interest quickly in activities or games, their vision could be the culprit.
2ļø. Losing their place when reading:
Struggling to follow words or keep track of where they are on the page might indicate a vision issue.
3ļø. Avoiding reading and close activities:
If your child avoids activities like reading, drawing or playing games that require close focus, they could be dealing with vision problems.
4ļø. Turning their head to the side:
This could signal a refractive error (like astigmatism) that makes it easier for your child to see by turning their head.
š Eye screenings are key to making sure your childās vision is in top shape for school and everyday activities. Early detection can help them succeedāboth academically and in life.
