A good education for your child means good schools, good teachers and good vision. Your child’s eyes are constantly in use in the classroom and at play. So when his or her vision is not functioning properly, learning and participation in recreational activities will suffer.
The basic vision skills needed for school use are: • Near vision. The ability to see clearly and comfortably at 10-13 inches. • Distance vision. The ability to see clearly and comfortably beyond arm’s reach. • Binocular coordination. The ability to use both eyes together. • Eye movement skills. The ability to aim the eyes accurately, move them smoothly across a page and shift them quickly and accurately from one object to another. • Eye/hand coordination. The ability to use the eyes and hands together. 
As a parent, be alert for symptoms that may indicate your child has a vision or visual processing problem. Be sure to tell your optometrist if your child frequently: • Loses their place while reading • Avoids close work • Holds reading material closer than normal • Tends to rub his or her eyes • Has headaches • Turns or tilts head to use one eye only • Makes frequent reversals when reading or writing • Uses finger to maintain place when reading. |
