The American Optometric Association (AOA) recommends that children receive an eye exam at age 6 and then every two years during the school-age years. Parents can look for signs of child’s vision becoming impaired. Contact an optometrist if your child experiences the following signs of having vision problems:

• Frequent eye rubbing or repeated blinking
• Short attention span
• Avoiding reading
• Recurrent headaches
• Covering one eye
• Tilting head to one side
• Holding books close to face
• An eye turning in or out
• Seeing double
• Losing place when reading
• Difficulty remembering what is read

 If your child has vision problems, when did they start?
