Did you know… these symptoms indicate eye diseases in children?

• Eyes not looking in the same direction.

• Light sensitivity.

• Chronic red eyes.

• Chronic tearing.

• Headaches or eye strain.

• Reading difficulties (e.g., holding books/TV too close).

• Clumsiness (e.g., frequently bumping into objects).

• Frequent eye rubbing.

Why Regular Eye Exams Are Crucial

• Chronic vision issues may develop unnoticed, as children cannot self-diagnose.

• Vision problems hinder developmental progress.

• Early detection of certain eye diseases increases cure chances.

• Delayed treatment risks permanent vision impairment or severe complications.

Parents must closely observe their children, as some eye conditions lack obvious signs but critically affect learning and development.

Recommended Eye Exam Schedule

• Newborn period.

• 3–6 months old.

• 3 years old.

• Every 1–2 years thereafter.
