When to Schedule an Eye Exam for Your Kid at Eye Care Associates
Our NC optometrists recommend scheduling a comprehensive eye exam for your child by the age of five. Certain warning signs of vision-related learning problems may indicate an additional need to visit your local Eye Care Associates office.
Does your child…
- Perform below expected levels in school?
- Have difficulty comprehending what he has read, or read slowly?
- Take a long time to finish assignments? Have a short attention span or difficulty staying on task?
- Have difficulty copying from a chalkboard or textbook?
- Become tired after reading?
- Avoid reading or other near-vision tasks?
- Report blurred or double vision with schoolwork or reading?
- Report frequent headaches or eyestrain? Have an eye that turns in or out?
- Blink excessively or rub his eyes during or after close visual work?
- Move his head back and forth instead of just his eyes while reading?
- Frequently lose his place when reading or use his finger as a pointer?
- Make frequent reversals such as “b” for “d”, “saw” for “was” or “14” for “41”?
- Have difficulty catching or getting a ball, tying shoelaces or distinguishing right from left?
If you answered “yes” or “sometimes” to some of these questions, it may be time to schedule a vision screening for your child, regardless of when they had their last eye checkup.
