Valuable Visual Skills
Children aren’t born with the necessary visual skills they develop them over time.
Good visual skills can help set your child up for success. Eyesight is involved whether it’s reading, interacting with other kids, throwing a ball around, or seeing what the teacher writes on the board.
Children who start school with undiagnosed vision problems may struggle to keep up in class. They may be misdiagnosed with ADHD or another behavioural disorder. Regular eye exams are vital to identifying and starting myopia treatment early.
Undiagnosed vision problems can also lead to:
- Learning at a slower rate than their peers
- Behavioural and disciplinary problems
- Higher risk of dropping out of school
Stages Of Sight
There are many milestones in a baby’s visual progression. Here’s what to expect at some critical stages:
- Birth to 4 Months: Your baby’s vision is improving rapidly. They should be focusing on nearby objects and faces and begin to reach for things
- 5 to 8 Months: As does colour vision, a 3-dimensional view of the world begins to form.
- 9 to 12 Months: Babies begin to grasp objects and can judge distances.
- 1 to 2 Years: Hand-eye coordination and depth perception should be well-developed.
To help your child develop healthy visual skills, bring them in for comprehensive eye exams at Abasa optical Surrey.
How Do I Know If My Child Needs Glasses?
If children are experiencing a vision issue, they often cannot articulate the problem they might not even know there is a problem. Kids can experience signs or symptoms that may not seem visual like tiredness, poor concentration, or difficulty keeping their place while reading. They may develop vision problems standard glasses can’t correct alone, like strabismus (eye turn) or amblyopia (lazy eye), which can affect how their vision develops. Bringing your child for regular eye exams with a pediatric ophthalmologist at Abasa Optical allows us to establish a baseline, evaluate their symptoms, and provide the necessary myopia treatment or other personalized care.
