My child squints and sits close to the television – does he/she need glasses?
Any child who frequently squints, closes one eye, holds his/her head in a consistent and unusual position, has a drift or misalignment of either eye, or has any visual complaint, definitely needs to have a full eye examination by an eye doctor comfortable with the care of children. Most often the eyes are found to be normal, but these signs and symptoms can sometimes be the only evidence of a mild or even a more severe problem with the eyes that needs attention.
