How frequently should you get an eye test done for your child?
Despite being one of the most sensitive organs and important senses of our body, many of us are not aware of the need for caring for our children s eyes. Most people still think that eye examination is meant for identifying the power of glasses but a comprehensive eye test can do much more than that for your kids.
It is accounted that more than 75 per cent of blindness and 50 per cent of partial sight loss is caused by the lack of regular eye tests and clinical care. Regular care for your child s eyes can help in keeping eyes healthy, prevent or limit the damage and sight loss caused by certain eye conditions and avoid the need for wearing glasses.
A complete children s eye exam that covers the lens, retina and optic nerve can help in preventing the onset and progress of ocular symptoms and conditions that are irreversible at a later stage. Children who have a family history of chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension or obesity should regularly undergo a thorough eye exam regularly as they are more likely to get their visual function impacted.
