If detected or treated early, it will often resolve completely. Visual abilities play a big role in early development. A Doctor of Optometry can use shapes, pictures and other child-friendly ways to evaluate vision and eye health.

Good hand-eye coordination and depth perception are important at this stage of development. Toddlers also like to paint, draw and colour, sort shapes and sizes, and fit or assemble pieces. These activities are all integral to their visual development. Be alert for symptoms that may indicate your child has a visual problem: Red, itchy or watering eyes; a sensitivity to light; squinting, or excessive blinking; holding objects too close.
