Before starting my article I will like to say a few words about health.
“Every human being is the author of his own health or disease.”
“He, who has health, has hope. And he, who has hope, has everything.”
“It is health that is real wealth and not pieces of gold and silver.”
The importance of a regular eye examination
Making sure your child has an eye examination at regular intervals is vital. Problems with seeing may affect your child’s self-confidence and prevent him from participating fully in sports and games. Uncorrected poor vision will almost inevitably cause your child to have problems with learning. It has been estimated that 80% of all learning activities involve vision. It is extremely important to identify and correct any problems with sight as early as possible.
The most common sight problems that affect children are short-sight (myopia), squint (strabismus), and lazy eye (amblyopia). Blurred vision, caused by refractive error, and long-sight also affect a significant percentage of school-age children.
