You may also notice&nbsp;an extreme sensitivity to light, or even clumsiness if they\u2019re finding it difficult to see things in their path. Some children may even experience headaches and nausea as a result of<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>\u200b<a href=\"https:\/\/www.clearly.com.au\/thelook\/eye-health-top-tips-myths\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">poor vision<\/a>\u200b.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once children reach preschool and begin to pick up new skills and activities in a classroom environment, signs of vision problems will grow and change.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4 signs your child needs glasses<\/strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are four common signs that your school-aged child may need corrective eyewear:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Sitting too close to the TV&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve noticed a dip in your child\u2019s grades or a teacher has mentioned that they struggle to read the whiteboard, there\u2019s a strong chance that your child may be nearsighted.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A common sign of&nbsp;myopia<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>(nearsightedness), especially among children, is sitting too close to the television or holding their tablet really close to their face. Although there\u2019s always the possibility your child is just really enamored by screens, it\u2019s definitely a sign you should have their eyes checked.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Difficulty focusing visually can be frustrating and even difficult for a child to explain, but if it\u2019s simply a matter of myopia,\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.clearly.com.au\/glasses\/kids\" target=\"_blank\">prescription eyeglasses<\/a>\u00a0should fix them up in a jiff.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.clearly.ca\/thelook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Image2-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Signs my Child Needs Glasses\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Difficulty keeping their place while reading&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Learning to read is hard, but it\u2019s even more difficult with poor vision. If your child is struggling to follow along while reading, they may have astigmatism&nbsp;or&nbsp;strabismus<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong>(crossed eyes). Both eye conditions tend to coincide with distorted vision, which can make many activities challenging, whether while reading, watching television or even playing outdoors.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wondering if your child has vision issues?&nbsp;Have them read a book to you and pay attention to&nbsp;their eyes and mannerisms.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This simple test should clue you in to any struggles or vision problems they may be dealing with.&nbsp;<em>Bonus: Asking your children to read to you is also great for their speech and vocabulary development.<\/em>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.&nbsp;Favouring&nbsp;one eye over the other&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While enjoying a&nbsp;favourite&nbsp;TV show or reading a book, if your child tends to keep only one eye open or uncovered, there\u2019s a strong chance they\u2019re compensating to focus their vision.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Closing or shielding one eye could be a symptom of&nbsp;amblyopia, also known as lazy eye, which can make it hard for the two eyes to focus together.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019ve noticed your child&nbsp;favouring&nbsp;one eye, sit down with them and ask that they perform an activity such as&nbsp;<strong>colouring<\/strong><strong>&nbsp;or reading using one eye at a time<\/strong>. Pay&nbsp;close attention to&nbsp;<strong>how they react when their \u201cpreferred\u201d eye is covered<\/strong>; if they start to fuss, there\u2019s a strong chance they need to see an eye doctor to assess the situation.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This condition can be tricky to treat with corrective lenses, as one eye may require a much stronger prescription than the other. Depending on each eye\u2019s prescription, your pediatric optometrist may also suggest vision therapy or\u00a0\u200b<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.clearly.com.au\/contact-lenses\" target=\"_blank\">contact lenses<\/a>\u200b<strong>.<\/strong>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Tracing along with their finger while reading&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When young children learn to read, it\u2019s fairly common for them to trace along the page with their finger as they read. However, if this word tracing continues as they grow older and better skilled at reading, it could be another sign of amblyopia.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lazy eye&nbsp;is characterized as one eye that doesn\u2019t focus as naturally as the other. It may mean extreme farsightedness in one eye, which can make words on a page very difficult to distinguish. The child may be pointing to each word with their finger to help them&nbsp;focus.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Amblyopia symptoms and treatments vary depending on the severity or specific diagnosis. If you\u2019ve noticed your child tracing words, take them in for an\u00a0<strong>\u200b<\/strong><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.clearly.com.au\/thelook\/abcs-pediatric-eye-exams\/\" target=\"_blank\">eye exam<\/a>\u200b.\u00a0Depending on the severity, the doctor may recommend eyeglasses, contact lenses or vision therapy.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.clearly.ca\/thelook\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/Image3-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"How Can I Tell if my Child Needs Glasses?\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What if my child won\u2019t wear glasses?<\/strong>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It may take a while for your young child to get used to the experience of wearing glasses. If they aren\u2019t a fan of their new eyewear, stick to your guns and&nbsp;<strong>keep encouraging them<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your child seems uncomfortable,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.clearly.com.au\/thelook\/how-to-adjust-glasses\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">inspect the frames to ensure that they&nbsp;fit properly<\/a>. You can also contact your eye doctor to double check that the prescription is correct. Or, your child may just need a different style that feels more comfortable to them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You could also ask whether your child\u2019s eye doctor might recommend contact lenses or vision therapy instead of eyeglasses.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, if your child has severe amblyopia, eyeglasses may not be a comfortable option due to the unequal magnification effect&nbsp;of two different lens powers. Varying prescriptions could also cause one lens to be thicker than the other, which could feel unbalanced and uncomfortable.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s not unheard of for a pediatric eye specialist to recommend contact lenses. Continuous or disposable contact lenses won\u2019t cause differences in image magnification as glasses do, and there are many options out there that are safe for younger eyes.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whatever the issue, a pediatric eye specialist will work with you and your child to find the best possible solution for their unique vision needs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.clearly.com.au\/glasses\/kids\">Shop kids glasses<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.clearly.com.au\/contactlenses\">Shop contact lenses<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.clearly.com.au\/eyewear\/need-your-eyes-checked\">Book an eye exam<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While it\u2019s important for adults to get their eyes checked regularly, it\u2019s absolutely vital for children to get routine eye exams to ensure their&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":48,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-10140","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-tips-advice"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>I think my child needs glasses.
