Now the question is how to know about weak eyesight among kids, particularly, the kids under 1 year. It is not so difficult. It needs only a keen observation of parents. For example, when parents observe, that kid is insisted to watch TV standing or sitting quite in front of the TV, poking his face to the screen, and when you try to get him away or enforce him to sit or stand away from the TV, he gets irritated. Then there is a doubt, that the kid may have some eyesight problem. At this stage, the parents should be more careful about their kid, because, sometimes it causes a great loss for the child.
Here I wish to tell you about my own nephew who always insists to watch TV poking his face into the TV screen. He did never accept to go away from it. We did not notice, why he is doing so? We perceive it as only a bad habit. Anyway, the time passes and he becomes 7 years old and a regular school-going kid. About a few months ago, we changed his school. At the first parent-teacher meeting, his parents were told about his eyesight problem. Because his teacher felt, that when he works from board sitting at his seat there are a lot of mistakes and when he works standing near the board there are no mistakes. She told his parents he may have weak eyesight. Anyhow, they got embarrassed, and rush to an Eye specialist. The Doctor told them that they are too late because his eyesight was below 3.5 at the age of seven and it was going down in plus. That means no recovery yet.
I wish other parents should save their children from such a situation. If your child is doing something out of the way, you should find the reason for it.
