Kids can have different eye problems like myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism.
Myopia, or short-sightedness, means they can see things close up clearly but struggle with things far away.
Hyperopia, or long-sightedness, is when they see far away clearly but have trouble with close-up tasks.
Astigmatism causes blurry vision at all distances due to an uneven shape of the eye.
Parents might notice their child squinting or complaining about headaches.
Luckily, these conditions can be treated with glasses or contact lenses.
Regular check-ups with an optometrist are key to keeping your child’s vision healthy.
