A child who sits very close to the TV, holds books near their face, or rubs their eyes often may be working harder to see than you realize. Losing their place while reading, complaining of headaches, or avoiding detailed work can also be worth mentioning. Children tend to adapt to blur without saying anything, so these clues matter.
Even when you have not noticed anything, a routine exam can help confirm that your child's vision and eye health are on track. Bring notes from a teacher or school screening if you have them. Together they give your optometrist a fuller picture of how your child uses their eyes every day.
