According to Prevent Blindness America, one in four school-age children have vision problems, that if left untreated, can affect learning ability, personality and adjustment in school. In order to improve your child’s learning ability, it’s best to schedule a mid-year, back-to-school eye exam should you see any of the warning signs below.

Does your child do any of the following:

• Sit too close to the TV?
• Hold a book too close to the face?
• Squint or tilt his/her head to see better?
• Frequently rub his/her eyes?
• Closes one eye to read or watch TV?
• Avoids activities that requires near vision, including reading, homework, or recreational activities?
• Complains of headaches/tired eyes?
• Avoids the computer because it hurts his/her eyes?
• Receives lower grades despite exponential effort?
