Signs Your Kids Might Have Vision Problems

Signs Your Kids Might Have Vision Problems and How an Optometrist Can Help

It's common for children to have vision problems that go undiagnosed. Eye exams for pediatric patients are very important to have every year. To see an “eye doctor near me,” call our Elko, NV, office to schedule an appointment. At Total Eyecare we are here to help.

Problems in the Classroom

For many kids, vision problems can cause difficulties at school. Academic problems can also lead to behavioral problems. At Total Eyecare we recommend a child’s first exam be done before the age of one.

Other Problems

There may be physical signs that your child needs to see the eye doctor. Your kids may need eye exams if they are squinting a lot, closing one eye to see better, or holding objects closer to see them clearer. Often children do not have any noticeable symptoms when a vision problem is present. For this reason, we recommend regular eye exams, even well before a child can talk.
