Do your children sit too close to the tv screen or hold their devices close to their eyes?
Limiting the screen time of your children is always a good idea, but sometimes entertainment is also a good thing. Do you notice that your child sits a bit too close to the tv screen or holds their handheld devices too close to their eyes? This could indicate that your child may not be able to see very well and could need vision correction. Sitting too close to the television, holding hand-held devices too close to the eyes, or lowering the head while reading is all possible signs of poor vision. If you are noticing this with your children, then schedule an eye exam right away at your optometrist.
Do your children frequently rub their eyes?
Are you noticing that your children are rubbing their eyes frequently? Your child may be struggling to focus on something or their vision is blurred and by them rubbing their eyes, it could indicate that they are trying to get relief. This is also a sign that you should schedule an eye exam for your child to see if they are in need of glasses for vision correction.
Do your children complain of headaches or eye pain?
If you are finding that your children are coming to you often complaining about headaches, eye strain, or eye pain, then this could indicate the need for vision correction with glasses.
