Children cannot reach their full potential if their eyesight and visual system do not develop fully. Regular eye screenings and comprehensive eye exams are recommended to ensure that a child’s vision is developing normally throughout infancy into the school age years. Studies show that many vision problems go undetected until later in childhood when children are at risk for a condition called amblyopia, where the eye does not develop and the vision remains poor in spite of treatment. Any indication of an eye problem by a parent, teacher, or health care provider, or undiagnosed poor performance in school warrants a referral for a comprehensive eye examination by an eye care professional. Evidence of eye problems in children include: blurred vision, eye rubbing, headaches, eye turn, crossed eyes, double vision.
