The problems in the view of the smallest of the house generate concern in the parents. Cases of myopia, astigmatism, strabismus or farsightedness are becoming more common. The increased exposure to the screens of electronic devices accelerates the visual deterioration of children.
This worsens their quality of life, their playing time and their school performance, among other consequences. In fact, if detected in time, some pathologies can be corrected in childhood, while others will accompany them for the rest of their lives.
As a general rule, children are not aware that their vision is not adequate or they do not know how to express it, especially the little ones. Others suspect it, but prefer not to say anything because they do not want to wear prescription glasses. Therefore, it is the task of the parents to pay attention to some significant details that indicate that we must take the minor to the optician or ophthalmologist as soon as possible.
If your little one already goes to school or nursery school, you can also ask his teachers if they think he does not see at all well. Although it may happen that they are the ones who come to you to raise their suspicions. Your doctor or pediatrician will also be helpful in checking the status of your vision.
