Signs and Symptoms

1-Poor vision in one or both eyes

2-Squinting or closing one eye while reading or watching television

3-Crossed or turned eye

4-Turning or tilting the head when looking at an object

Note: Children rarely complain of poor vision. They are able to adapt very easily to most visual impairments. Parents must be very observant of young children and should have a routine eye exam performed by the age of 2-3 to detect potential problems.
