THE REASON FOR HIS FAILURE AT SCHOOL MAY BE A VISUAL IMPAIRMENT
- Parents are sometimes mistaken that the problems in their children’s school success are due to a ‘lack of understanding’. But the main reason may be a visual eye impairment. “Most of the learning of a child is visual, so its development depends on his ability to see, ” experts say.
.
HOW DOES COURSE SUCCESS RELATE TO VISUAL HEALTH?
- Turkey Medicals member and Eye Operator Doctor (Ophthalmologist): If we accept the fact that one out of every three children in Turkey has visual impairment, families who are not aware of the problem may say, “My child’s school success is very low!” we will understand that your stupidity is not true. We understand that most often the child does not achieve the expected success due to problems with vision. If the necessary measures are not taken, ‘eye laziness’ may occur, which is more difficult to treat in the following years. Therefore, the first eye check should be done immediately after birth. it should be repeated every 6-12 months. Students should also be checked regularly during school.
.
- Turkish Associate Professor (Department of Child Development, Istanbul University): Personality traits in child development develop and take shape in connection with mental and physical health. In the early days, large and small articles become smaller over time and the amount of writing increases. In particular, 80 percent of the information learned is realized thanks to the sense of sight. Healthy vision is critical for every child’s social development, school success and well-being. Problems with focusing, reading, writing, and hand-eye coordination can also occur with vision problems. This condition can cause the child to have a perception disorder in classes, learn to read late, and be reluctant to take classes. A child who assumes that his peers also see the world as he does cannot realize that he has visual impairment. Depending on this situation, he may be labeled as hyperactive, lazy, or slow because he cannot follow the educational activities in the classroom and may be excluded by his environment.

CONTACT THE EYE DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY
How do parents know that their child has a vision problem?
- If a child has symptoms such as eye shift, eyelid droop, burr, swelling, don’t look with one eye closed, can’t see the board enough, skip lines while reading, follow sentences with your hand, watch TV closely, headache, he should contact a doctor immediately.
.
- If the child has vision problems, he may not be able to fulfill the visual skills expected of him. For example, may not understand the difference between the letters ’b‘ and ’d’. He may have problems imagining what is happening in the story he is reading. It may be difficult to distinguish the object by its size, shape, color. He may have problems ensuring the integrity of the topic by skipping lines during reading. He may not be able to maintain hand-eye coordination when drawing pictures or writing. He may have problems tracking an object in motion.
What do you recommend to parents?
- Controls related to children’s eyesight should not be neglected. Most of the learning of a child is visual, so its development depends on his ability to see.
.
- Watch for signs that your child has vision problems. Remember, children often do not complain about vision problems. If you are concerned about your child’s eyesight, act in cooperation with his doctor and teacher. Have them checked even if there are no symptoms. Early detection and treatment of vision problems will prevent these negative behaviors from occurring. If a diagnosis of the presence of a vision problem has been made after the check-up, answer the questions that the child is wondering in an understandable language to reduce his anxiety.
