Signs Your Young Child Needed Glasses

Sept. 7, 2012 - PRLog -- Will baby or kid has the chance of needing glasses? Well, the answer is yes.

For most of us, we will think that people get nearsighted when they read or watch too much, and become farsighted when growing old. So our little kids won't need glasses. This common sense causes incorrect idea to most people. Actually baby can be born as nearsighted. The reason is gene.

Parents with high correction have very high chance to pass their genes to the next generation. This is a confirmed research.

It’s a question that all of us with a young child in glasses have heard over and over: “How did you even know your child needed glasses?”  It’s hard when your son or daughter isn’t reading, might not even be talking, to have any sense of whether they’re seeing well.  And if you look for information on signs of vision problems, most books and websites talk about sitting too close to a tv, or trouble reading a chalkboard, or difficulty reading.  Useful, but so much not for the very young kids.  I’d like to pull together a list of signs of vision problems for parents of very young children.

"We found out our Son had a congenital cataract on each eye when he was 4 as had his eyes tested before he started school and it was picked up then. He has glasses and check ups every 6 months re cataracts and everyone knows him as having glasses. Had no idea of his vision problems when he was very young, had difficulty with some fine motor 2/3 years old and in big crowds became a bit frightened and overwhelmed at times but we thought he was maybe just an anxious child. Fine motor, holding a pencil and anxiety etc all makes sense now and it was probably related to the fact he couldn’t see properly. Wish we had of had his eyes tested earlier."

"My son’s right eye started turning when he was 18 months old. He is farsighted and needed glasses. Before that though, signs that I now know were eye related were: he was an extremely frustrated baby as well his speech was affected as well. These were both corrected with glasses within a short period of time."

"Arianna’s right eye started turning at about 31/2, but I really didn’t think she would need glasses. I was in shock when I took her to the Ophthalmologists and was told she was Farsighted needed glasses and needed to patch"

"DS showed no signs of his strong astigmatism at 2yrs, so we wouldn’t have known except that his pediatrician does routine eye screenings at his well checks. He got an outlying “score” on one eye, so doctor sent us to the optometrist. Sadly, I hear these screenings are not common, though!"

All these bring this issue to parents: Do vision check while health check for baby regularly and find the problem at the first time.
