I made the ultimate Nostalgiacore video of a bunch of photos from my leap pad that I took when I was a child. In the background, there are noises of driving and silence.

Myopia in Children: A Global Health Crisis

A recent study published in the British Journal of Ophthalmology reveals a troubling trend: one in three children worldwide is now affected by myopia, commonly known as nearsightedness. This condition means that distant objects appear blurry while close ones remain clear. The research shows that the COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on children’s vision, largely due to increased…

Myopia in Children: A Global Health Crisis

[uschi-the-listener]

Once upon a time

When I was so small

So small

I don't know where we were or

Where we were going

Mom and the baby

Up front with dad

Me in the back with my sister

It was a long straight road

From horizon to horizon

Dividing the world

We in the middle

Dad driving and

Talking talking

Far ahead I saw

Something

A cloud

With a veil hanging down

Silver

Not touching the earth

I didn't know

What it was

I had only been on earth

2 or 3 years

I had never seen anything like it

We came closer

It rushed toward us

It smelled of water

The grass or crop

Whatever it was

On either side

Waved and rippled

An invisible hand

Stroked and tousled it

We drove on

Toward the silver veil

The scented veil

On the long straight road

The veil hit us

Like a tub of water

Playing our car

Like a percussion instrument

Like a tiny dance

Too big to be contained

Dad kept driving

The road was wet

The veil was gone

I wanted to go back

Do it again!

Do it again!

Dad kept driving

Talking Talking

Nothing about

That miracle

Of the silver veil

And the crops

And the dance

There was probably

A rainbow somewhere

Shimmering and giggling

At this big joke

I didn't know about rainbows

I barely knew about rain

It was never like that before

How To Know If Your Child has Vision or Sight Problems?

When bringing up children, parents know what to expect when it comes to potty training, helping them to crawl, and then getting up and walking. They help them with speech, and warn them what not to touch. They also expose them to different smells and tastes, all of which are easy enough to identify, discuss, explain and understand. But many parents are at a loss when it comes to helping their children with their eyesight or vision, and just as many are missing the signs of possible vision difficulties, according to leading Australian behavioural optometrists Gary Rodney and Jacqueline Gattegno, whose Smart Vision Optometry specialises in this field.

Entering the School Years a Step or Two Behind

Rodney and Gattegno agree this means that many children head off to school a few steps behind their peers, simply because they do not see the world or anything in it in the same way their classmates do. Instead everything is blurred or not processed appropriately visually. This can lead to a number of learning problems as well as causing the children to feel uncomfortable in several areas.

“They’re facing a whole new world when they enter school, and tend to lose confidence when they feel they are not performing as well as their new friends. Reading can become difficult and other learning skills can lag, and they don’t know why this is happening. So many of them may start to show behavioural problems or avoid engagement with a process that seems too hard. Some don’t want to read, and many don’t want to take up sports,” Rodney and Gattegno explained.  

A Question of Distance

Two of the most commonly known of the eye problems, which together with other eye problems affect around 22% or more of Australians under 14, are myopia and hyperopia. Both cause children to have blurry vision, either when trying to view something at a distance, which is the case with myopia (nearsightedness), or when looking at something close up, when they are farsighted (hyperopia). Both are refraction errors caused by the light rays focus in front of the retina or behind it, but not on it as it should.

On school screenings however, Rodney and Gattegno have found that optical blur only accounts for 11% of all other vision problems. There are far more issues with both functional vision skills and perceptual vision skills. So looking at refractive error alone will not identify the vast majority of vision road blocks to reading and learning.

How to See the Signs 

Parents can be on the watch for certain give-away signs that their children have problems with visual function or visual processing of things at different distances. Some are easily visible in physical actions.

These include a tendency to move very close to what they are trying to see, like when watching TV, or bring books close to their eyes when they are trying to read.  Children with eye problems may also lose their place while reading a book, let their eyes follow the words using a finger to guide them, or take to avoiding the things its too difficult to do. This could include books or perhaps sports because the blur creeps in and makes it too difficult because the focus called for is not comfortable for them, according to Rodney and Gattegno.

They may also squint, or tip their head to one side to allow the stronger eye to do the work, so allowing the weaker eye to become “lazy” and deteriorate even more.

Rodney said that difficulty focusing could also lead to frequent headaches, light sensitivity and complaints about “sore eyes”. It can also result in avoidance in response to suggestions that they read a book, or work on a computer, a while this might sometimes be taken as bad behaviour, it could turn out to be the very real effect of an eye problem.  

What Parents Can Do

Armed with these warning signs, they can then approach leading optometrists like those at Gary Rodney’s and Jacqueline Gattegno’s Smart Vision clinics in Sydney, or call one of the Eyes In Design NSW clinics at Bondi [phone] or Mosman [phone].

They can also visit the Smart Vision website: Optometrists Sydney: Optometry Services For Children and Adults | Smart Vision to find more information provided by the Smart Vision behavioural optometrists whose major focus is on the effects of perceptual and functional vision problems in children.

Children Eye Care

Dear Readers, Once upon a time there was such belief that heredity made a man even today few people believe about heredity. By this logic parents, who were loyal, intelligent and wise produce same quality children. It was in the genes, conversely, children of a thief and beggar did not stand much to chose other path than just like their parents outcasts.
