From Dr. Santi's blog they recommend us to have this practical evaluation test poster performed by optometrists or oculists to examine the visual acuity of the kids. The goal is to use it in a well-lit and quiet room for the child to collaborate. And it is important to detect vision disorders among children and in this way, at least, you can rule out the need to worry.
I think that in schools or in pediatrician visits it is possible to comment or diagnose vision disorders. Although it doesn't hurt perform periodic analysis They recommend evaluating the vision of the child in four stages:
- The first review is carried out by pediatricians upon discharge of the newborn child
- The second is done at 6 months of age and the child's eyes should be examined by the pediatrician or ophthalmologist. At this age, strabismus, tear duct obstructions and amblyopia are ruled out
- The third is done at 3 and a half years and uses optical technology that includes the graphic that illustrates the article. The evaluation must be performed by pediatricians or ophthalmologists
- The fourth is made at 5 years of age and the diagnosis, if there are alterations, must be evaluated by an ophthalmologist
Meanwhile you can try at home with this poster and check if the child correctly identifies where the spikes point or, playing with the letters: w, m, e on the left and e on the right. At home my daughter saw him and as I think they do evaluations at school, he started move your hand marking the direction of the spikes. So for now it seems that the view progresses properly.
