How do you know if your child has an eye problem?

During the first 12 years of our lives, as much as 80% of learning is accomplished through our vision. Yet, one out of every four children has an undetected vision problem that may inhibit their progress. It can be difficult to spot. Children have no way of knowing if what they see is any different from what others can see. But there are a number of tell-tale signs you can look out for. At Gundersen and Zuker, we are experts in caring for your child's vision.

Does your child:

Perform below expected levels in school?
Have difficulty comprehending what he has read, or reads slowly?
Take a long time to finish assignments?
Have a short attention span or difficulty staying on task?
Have difficulty copying from a chalkboard or textbook?
Become tired after reading?
Avoid reading or other close work?
Report blurred or double vision with schoolwork or reading?
Report frequent headaches or eyestrain?
Have an eye that turns in or out?
Blink excessively or rub his eyes during or after close visual work?
Move his head back and forth instead of just his eyes while reading?
Frequently lose his place when reading or use his finger as a pointer?
Make frequent reversals such as "b" for "d", "saw" for "was" or "14" for "41"?
Have difficulty catching or getting a ball, tying shoelaces or distinguishing right from left?

The only way to be sure about your child's eyesight is to consult a qualified optician. Children's eye examinations at Gundersen and Zuker are designed to be friendly and fun for kids of all ages. Make an appointment today by calling (231) 722-3556.
