A child needs many abilities to succeed in school. Good vision is key. It has been estimated that as much as 80% of the learning a child does occurs through his or her eyes. Reading, writing, chalkboard/whiteboard work, and using computers are among the visual tasks students perform daily. A child’s eyes are constantly in use in the classroom and at play. When his or her vision is not functioning properly, education and participation in sports can suffer.
Signs that may indicate a child has a vision problem include:
- Frequent eye rubbing or blinking
- Short attention span
- Avoiding reading and other close activites
- Frequent headaches
- Covering one eye
- Tilting the head to one side
- Holding reading materials close too the face
- An eye turning in or out
- Seeing double
- Losing place when reading
- Difficulty remembering what he or she read
