In addition to getting the
proper preventative care,
parents should be vigilant
about noticing any signs of
eye problems.
nently threaten a child's eye-
sight if not treated early-on,
such as amblyopia (lazy eye).
Other treatable disorders
that can affect the one in four
school-age children who has
vision problems are crossed
eyes, nearsightedness, far-
sightedness and tism.
In addition, eye focusing, eye
tracking and eye coordina-
tion problems may affect a
~hild's performance in school
and sports.
=The majority of what we
learn is through the visual
processing of information,
and if a child has an undi-
agnosed vision problem, then
it will have an impact upon
his or her ability to succeed
in school," said Zaba. "So just
as you regularly schedule
your child for an annual phys-
ical or dental appointment,
every child should have reg-
ular comprehensive vision
examinations performed by
an eye care professional."
Early in the school year,
when vision problems often
become apparent, is an ideal
time to schedule an exam.
While finances are tight for
many families, affordable,
high-quality vision care
options are available, such as
those at Walmart Vision
Centers, which have inde-
pendent, licensed optometrists
working in or adjacent to the
store. There are around 3,000
Walmart Vision Centers
across the country, which pro:
vide complete eye exams and
advice on vision corrections,
affordable lenses, frames and
contacts.
In addition to getting the
proper preventative care, par-
ents should be vigilant about
noticing any signs of eye
problems.
"A child may assume he or
she sees the same way every-
one else does, not knowing
there is a problem and that
the parent or teacher needs
to know about it," said Zaba.
That is why it is important to
be aware of the symptoms of
vision problems in children.
Frequent eye rubbing or blink-
ing, holding reading materi-
als close to the face, redness
or tearing in the eyes,
headaches when reading or
writing, squirting or covering
one eye, tilting the head to
one side, losing place when
reading--these are all signs
that a child may have vision
problems and needs to be seen
by an eYe care professional.

(NAPS)--Making sure chil-
dren get regular, compre-
hensive eye exams is a key
way that parents can identify
treatable problems early and
help kids achieve their great-
est potential--in the class-
room, at home and in sports.
Studies show that around
60 percent of children who
have been identified as prob-
lem learners actually suffer
from undetected vision prob-
lems and may mistakenly be
diagnosed with .attention
deficit disorder (ADD) or atten-
tion deficit hyperactivity dis-
order (ADHD), according to
the American Optometric
Association.
For many children, their
only regular vision assess-
ment is a school screening;
however, simple screenings
are meant to indicate a
potential need for further
evaluation, not to diagnose
or treat a problen~ According
to The Vision Council, recent
studies estimate that 40 to
67 percent of children iden-
tified with vision problems
during school screenings do
not receive the recommended
follow-up care by an eye care
professional.
Dr. Jod Zaba, a spokesper-
son for The Vision Council
and national lecturer on chil-
dren's vision and learning
problems, says a vision exam-
ination by a licensed eye care
professional can identify con-
