Children's vision, regular monitoring.
The visual system reaches maturity at 10 years old , beyond that our eyes stop developing, the importance of screening is essential here are some important appointments in your child's life not to be missed .
- A first check-up appointment from the age of 6 months is strongly recommended. At this age, your child may have developed a slight strabismus that could be a consequence of amblyopia ("lazy eye"). Your child could see perfectly with his "strong eye" which would neglect the development of his other eye.
- The transition to the senior section and primary school.
Around the age of learning to read, your child will stimulate his visual system more intensely; regular monitoring will be important so as not to miss a visual defect that could slow down your child's progress at school. - More intensive monitoring between 9 and 12 years old .
It is in this age group that treatment to improve your child's vision is most effective.
If your child has any of the symptoms described below, have his or her vision checked by a specialist ophthalmologist:
- Before the age of 1 year: strabismus, nystagmus (involuntary and jerky oscillating movement of the eyeball), photophobia, whitish pupil, excessive and interrupted tearing, exaggerated blinking, too frequent eye rubbing, hearing impaired, swollen, red crusty eyelids.
- From 1 to 3 years: double vision, moves closer to the object he wants to see, headaches, stumbles and often bumps into furniture, frequent imbalance, general fatigue too frequent, grimaces often.
- From 3 to 6 years: difficulty with orientation, lack of concentration, poor general coordination, loss of balance, catching or throwing a ball badly.

What are good glasses for children?
The morphology of a child's face is very different from that of an adult, their cheekbones and cheeks are more prominent, the base of their nose is not yet formed. Children look at the world from a different angle... in fact children tend to raise their heads much more often than we adults; from this posture arises an additional requirement for the choice of glasses adapted to their vision. Finally, children, due to their dynamism, are more exposed to the risk of breaking their glasses... adding even more demanding criteria in the choice of their glasses.
What are good glasses for children? Well, they are glasses that meet these three criteria: facial morphology, height of visual field, shock and scratch resistance .
