Some signs you can look out for include frequent eye rubbing, excessive tearing, sensitivity to light, squinting and tilting his eyes and head when focusing on something. If your child is already in school and have been consistently doing well and all of a sudden there is a drop in grades, his or her eyesight could be the reason. When I was in primary school, I used to ace my spelling tests till I was about 8 and suddenly I would come home with zero test scores. Turns out that I had astigmatism and after I had glasses prescribed, things went back to normal.
For my nephew, we realized that he had trouble seeing when we saw that he was always squinting, and he kept bumping into the furniture while he was first starting to walk. Eventually, we took him to the optometrist and they gave him glasses. :)
bring him/her to optometrist when 3 years old.
