Hyperopia in children is quite common but it often goes unnoticed. There are some main signs you can watch out for if you think your child may be farsighted:
- Blurred vision (particularly at night)
- Frequent headaches
- Eyestrain
- Difficulty reading (children may find themselves reading the same line over and over again)
- Lack of interest in reading
- Rubbing of eyes
- Crossed eyes
If you notice your child or teenager has any or a combination of some of these symptoms then you should schedule an appointment with your optometrist who will be able to diagnose hyperopia.
