Check the eyes, If the School Achievement in Children Declines


Nearly about 80 percent of the things children learn is obtained through vision, and studies show 70 percent of the 2 million school-age children have difficulty reading because of vision problems such as ocular motor, perceptual disturbances or binocular disorders.

"If a child is struggling in school when learning, then it is important to parents is pay attention to his eyesight," jar of Dr. Joel Zaba, a researcher and ophthalmologist, as quoted from Medicinenet, Wednesday (14/09/2011).

Dr. Zaba said there are several things that can make a child's academic achievement in school is not good, but a disturbance in vision could give a great impact for children.

Studies show that a simple eye examination can provide an early indication of problems relating to distance eyesight that can be seen well. As for other eye conditions that can affect children's performance in the classroom often need an in-depth examination.

Here are 10 signs that may occur in children who have difficulties or impaired vision, namely:
1. Squinting or closing one eye when she saw something
2. Holding or memabca books in close proximity of his face
3. While reading he was losing lines or sentences he was reading
4. Often feel a headache, dizziness or nausea while reading
5. Often cocked his head to one side
6. Frequent daydreaming
7. Using a finger as a signal for writing the read
8. Showed a declining school performance
9. Rubbing eyes repeatedly
10. Having excessive clumsiness

"We recommend all students to conduct comprehensive eye examinations on a regular basis, usually because a child does not realize the problems it has," says Professor Sally L Smith, as the founder and director of The Lab School of Washington.

By evaluating the health of your eyes and see the skills can be an important key to teaching and learning process of children, such as using both eyes right, eyes ability to focus when reading or viewing and the ability to move the eyes when reading.
