Farsightedness, nearsightedness, and astigmatism are the three forms of defects that can damage a child's vision. They are a vision problem that makes it difficult to see clearly. It happens when the shape of an eye prevents light from properly focusing on the retina. The light would usually be sent to the brain via the optic nerve as signals to produce a visual image. If left untreated, children's eyesight might grow fuzzy, making it difficult for them to read, write, or do any chores. Who can address these with corrective glasses, and as a child grows older, LASIK eye surgery may be an option.
