JOHNNY WON'T TELL YOU
If your child has a vision pro
blem, chances are he won’t tell you
or even be aware of ft himself.
More than likely he's been seeing
the same way ever since he was
bom. Even if his vision is blurred.
If he’s seeing a double image, or
only seeing well through one eye,
he may be too young to be aware
thAi onyxhing Is wrong. How does a
parent explain to a child what his
eyes should be seeing?
You may have noticed him rubb
ing his cyca more than normal or
holding some toy or other object
unusually close to his eyes. Or he
may stumble over things he should
have seen. You may think It’s all
part of growing up. You can’t be
sure unless you have your child’s
eyes examin^.
Many vision specialists recom
mend that a child’s eyes be ex
amined shortly after birth and
again by the time be is four years
old. After that, he should have
yearly eye examinations as part of
his annual health checkup.
If your child hasn’t had an eye
examination recently, maybe he
should. ’This is partlcidarly impor
tant if you think there may be a vi
sion problem.
