A child needs many abilities to succeed in school.
Good vision is key. It has been estimated that as
much as 80% of the learning a child does occurs
through his or her eyes. Reading, writing,
chalkboard/whiteboard work, and using
computers are among the visual tasks students
perform daily. A child’s eyes are constantly in
use in the classroom and at play. When his or her
vision is not functioning properly, education and
participation in sports can suffer.
Signs that may indicate a child has
a vision problem include:
Frequent eye rubbing or blinking
Short attention span
Avoiding reading and other close activites
Covering one eye
Tilting the head to one side
Holding reading materials close too the face
An eye turning in or out
Losing place when reading
Difficulty remembering what he or she read
