6 Signs Your Child May Be Struggling To See Clearly At Home

1. Sitting very close to the TV
  • If your child consistently sits close to the screens, they may be struggling to see details clearly.
2. Holding books or devices too close
  • Bringing reading material unusually close to their face can be a sign of vision difficulties.
3. Frequent eye rubbing
  • Constant rubbing may indicate tired, strained, or uncomfortable eyes.
4. Tilting their head or covering one eye
  • Children sometimes compensate for vision problems without realising it.
5. Complaining of tired eyes or headaches
  • Vision strain can cause discomfort, especially after reading, homework, or screen time.
6. Bumping into things or appearing clumsy
  • Difficulty judging distances can affect coordination and spatial awareness.
Children often don’t realise they’re not seeing clearly because they assume everyone sees the same way they do.
Regular eye tests help children learn, play, and grow with confidence.
