Children's Eyes Need Frequent Checking
Have your child's eyes checked frequently. About one-third of all school-age children have poor eyesight.
Uncorrected sight defects often result in disinterest in studies and poor grades.
Probably the biggest problem is that too often neither parents nor children realize the trouble. If a child has always seen double or had blurred vision, he has no reason to think anything is wrong.
Check for red rims, encrusted or swollen lids, recurring sties, inflammation or wateriness or crossing of the child's eyes. All are signs of some eye trouble.
