How to know if your child have eye vision problems and needs eyeglasses

According to the American Optometric Association, infants should have their first comprehensive eye exam at 6 months of age.

Children then should receive additional eye exams at 3 years of age, and just before they enter kindergarten or the first grade at about age 5 or 6. A vision screening at school is not the same as an eye exam and may miss a vision problem.

These are the warning signs you need to check out for:

• Consistently sitting too close to the TV or holding a book too close

• Losing his or her place while reading or using a finger to guide the eyes when reading

• Squinting or tilting the head to see better

• Frequent eye rubbing

• Sensitivity to light and/or excessive tearing

• Closing one eye to read, watch TV, or see better

• Avoiding activities that require near vision, such as reading or homework

• Avoiding activities that require distance vision, such as participating in sports or other recreational activities

• Acting out or restlessness in the classroom
