Children’s Vision Problems—
What to Look Out For

Monitoring children’s vision health is very important. Even if they are affected by eye conditions, children can think it’s normal and live with the issue. You can help by looking out for common signs and symptoms of an underlying issue:

  • Blurry or double-vision (astigmatism)
  • Straining
  • Eye rubbing
  • Complaining of vision fatigue and headaches
  • Saying using computers or devices hurts their vision
  • Holding a book very close
  • Struggling to read
  • Sitting too close to the TV

Clear, healthy vision is essential for children to learn, as most educational tools are visual and include reading screens or books.

If your child has difficulty learning to read or write, needs to hold their books or screens very close or far away, or seems unable to focus on distant objects, they may have a condition. Other symptoms might include regular headaches, sore eyes, lack of coordination, or a reluctance to read.

If this is the case, children’s eye tests can determine the problem and provide suitable treatment.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Should I Have My Child’s Eyes Tested?

Yes, it’s essential for your child’s overall vision health. Children may not realise they have a problem and accept conditions like blurry vision as normal. However, with regular tests, we will detect these issues early on and look to offer a solution.

With ongoing support and excellent eye health, your child can enjoy their childhood, develop naturally, and have the best vision for their education.

How Regularly Should My Child’s Eyes Be Checked?

Our recommendation is to have a kid’s eye test once a year. Even after your child passes a screening test it’s important to have regular checkups. Continuous checks will make sure they maintain excellent eye health and we can also detect any problems early on. This is a great step towards finding solutions if your child needs any. For example, finding the right prescription glasses.

How Accurate are Eye Tests for Kids?

Very accurate. It’s natural for parents to wonder about the accuracy of tests. The good news is we’re highly experienced and skilled in these examinations, and we have all the latest technology, too. Children’s eyes are different from adults’, requiring more time and specific equipment.

We use children’s eye test charts and specific diagnostic instruments to ensure the well-being of every child in our clinic.
