Visual problems do not only affect children’s learning abilities, but also their psycho-social development. The critical period for visual development is from birth to 8 years old. Most visual problems, if detected early, can be treated. Thus, it is advisable for parents to take their children for regular eye check-ups starting from the age of 3. A comprehensive eye examination would include:
- Visual Acuity
- Cover Tests and extraocular movements
- Intra-ocular Pressure
- Fundus Photography
- Refraction
- Colour Vision Screening
- Ocular Health
- Diagnosis and Recommendation
