Today, 1 in 4 children has an undiagnosed vision problem. Although, the chances of developing a vision problem are greater if there is a history of eyesight problems in your family, many children with no such family history encounter a troublesome vision issue.
Laptop Battery Television is not the only culprit responsible for the deterioration of your child's eyesight. Children are now spending an alarming amount of time in front of the computer screen. Optometrists warn that heavy computer usage is known to increase your chances of developing blurry and double vision.
The association warns that many children may be developing Computer Vision Syndrome due to prolonged computer use. "Computer use is an increasing source of vision problems, and children may experience many of the same symptoms as adults. Too much time in front of a computer screen can lead to eye discomfort, fatigue, blurred vision and headaches, " optometrist Leonard Press, learning specialist with the AOA, said in a prepared statement. "However, some unique aspects of how children use computers may make them even more susceptible than adults to these problems."
Thinkpad Loss of vision is not to be taken lightly and the individuals who are most affected are children. A child's untreated vision problem can lead to learning and behavioral problems.

Provincial coverage differs, but most terms specify that eye exams are only covered once every two years and only if your child is under the age of 10. There are many healthcare specialists who believe this to be inadequate. It is impossible to gage when a child's vision will begin to deteriorate, if at all, but factors such as heredity and increased exposure to computer and television screens may speed up the process. In order to properly monitor the health of your children's eyes, it may be wise to plan a vision check-up more often than every two years. Unfortunately, visiting an optometrist every year can cost you as much as $150 for every eye examination if your province does not provide coverage. In order to fill the gaps left by provincial health coverage, it may be sensible to purchase health insurance for your children.
Anybody who spends 2 or more hours a day using a computer may potentially suffer from Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS).

The untreated eye problem can result in learning and behavioral problems that negatively affect a child's life. With proper attention to vision care, including regular check-ups, unforeseen problems can be avoided.
