How to address poor eyesight in children

Healthy eyes and vision are a critical part of children’s development. Their eyes should be examined regularly, as many vision problems and eye diseases can be detected and treated early.

The most common vision problem is nearsightedness or myopia. However, some children have other forms of refractive error like farsightedness and astigmatism. In addition, the existence of eye focusing, eye tracking and eye coordination problems may affect school and sports performance.
