Fear of glasses? Sometimes kids who are having trouble with their vision, don’t own up to it. According to KidsHealth.com, the following may be signs of trouble:
• constant eye rubbing
• extreme light sensitivity
• poor focusing
• poor visual tracking (following an object)
• abnormal alignment or movement of the eyes (after 6 months of age)
• chronic redness of the eyes
• chronic tearing of the eyes
• a white pupil instead of black
In school-age children, watch for other signs such as:
• inability to see objects at a distance
• inability to read the blackboard
• squinting
• difficulty reading
• sitting too close to the TV
