The parents of this adorable little girl named Piper have made a video of the moment when the girl, a few months, they put on their glasses for the first time.
His reaction is most touching: look at his mother, look at his father, look back at his mother, look back at his father ... How happy he is to see their faces for the first time clearly is priceless.
Her mother, Jessica Sinclair, realized that the girl was not crawling yet, and thought that there might be some problem in her vision. He decided to take her to the doctor and they found that she had +7.00 in one eye and +5.00 in the other. Now, thanks to its new pair of glasses you can make a normal life.
Vision problems in children are more common than we think
According to American Academy of Ophthalmology, 20% of school-age children have some type of vision problem, that is, one in four children does not see correctly.
In babies it is more complicated to detect vision problems because their environment is usually "close", that is, everything they interact with is very close to them, which can make problems such as myopia go unnoticed at that age apart from that a baby has a reduced ability to explain what happens to them. But some symptoms that could indicate that there is a problem are:
- The light bothers him a lot.
- His eyes tremble.
- He is not able to follow his parents' face with his eyes.
- It takes time to crawl or is not able to fit pieces into their shapes.
- You have a droopy eyelid that could affect your vision axis.
- Opaque pupils
- Eyes not aligned
In older children:
- He complains that he doesn't see the board.
- In situations of crowds, such as leaving school, it takes time to recognize the familiar faces of their caregivers.
- Achina eyes to see.
- Stretch your neck and raise your head.
- Frequent headaches, especially at school time.
Other data also to take into account
- Some eye diseases such as myopia or lazy eye are hereditary. If one of the parents presents it, it is advisable to consult with the pediatrician.
- Watching TV very close does not cause vision problems.
- The use of mobile devices may cause sight damage.
