What are common signs that my child has a vision problem?

There are many indicators that your child may have a problem with their vision and common signs include:

Chronic eye infections
Frequent eye rubbing
Getting similar words confused
Headaches
Lack of attention
Poor school performance
Sitting very close to the TV

How often should my child have an eye exam?

If your child has not had to have their vision corrected, we recommend that they have an exam every two years. If your child needs glasses or contacts, we recommend that your child have an annual eye exam to more closely monitor their vision for any changes.
