IF CHILDREN ARE WATCHING TV UP CLOSE
The use of glasses in infancy plays an important role in strabismus and lazy eyes. For this reason, if the child has complaints such as headache, eye fatigue, inability to see well near or far, watching TV closely, squinting or winking the eyes, tilting the head to the shoulder or lifting the jaw, an eye examination should be performed. Such complaints suggest vision defects such as hypermetropia, myopia, astigmatism in the child. If the ophthalmologist deems it necessary after the eye examination in Turkey, the use of glasses should be started immediately, regardless of age.
Families often avoid the use of glasses, neglect them, or do not bother if the child does not want to use glasses. However, using glasses at this age can completely eliminate or alleviate the conditions of laziness and Strabismus that may occur in the future.
It is important to note that the development of vision occurs most rapidly between the ages of 0-2, and the vision formed between the ages of 2-6 accounts for 95% of the total vision. Therefore, the use of glasses in childhood should be given the necessary attention.
