Healthy functioning of the eyes is essential to a child’s development because all activities including schooling depend on visual activity. Experts have estimated that more than half of the difficulties that child faces in learning are due to undiagnosed vision problem. So, an eye examination should be made an essential part of a routine paediatric examination.
The most common reason behind this is that the child does not recognize an abnormality in the vision and more so cannot express his visual experiences. They only know what they are seeing on their own, which is why they become less capable of telling what is going wrong to their guardian. These children with abnormal vision may show some subtler signs. The child may become fidgety and remain distracted, and might fail to complete the given tasks within the assigned time limit. An ignorant adult would not recognize these subtle signs and may reprimand the children. They might start believing that they are not good at learning and get averse to educational activities, like going to school is not fun.
Some of the symptoms are associated with a vision problem and can be easily detected. If your child is experiencing some of the following issues, you should immediately go for a comprehensive eye exam.
The most common reason for the vision problem left undiagnosed is the inability of the child to self-report the issue to the guardian.

Parents skip the eye tests for the children by thinking that the school nurse and the big E chart will tell if any abnormality is found with the vision. But the big E chart can only help find the problem of nearsightedness. A comprehensive eye exam before school is essential to find out these eye conditions :-
