Far-sightedness (hyperopia):<br />
When reading or writing your child<br />
may get tired quickly because they<br />
can’t focus on things that are up<br />
close. They can easily recognise faraway<br />
objects. Far sightedness leads<br />
to headaches, red eyes, inability to<br />
concentrate and restlessness. The<br />
condition can, however, improve as<br />
your child gets older.<br />
Astigmatism:<br />
This is the irregular curvature of the<br />
cornea (the outside, dome-shaped<br />
surface of the eye). Depending on<br />
the severity of the irregularity, objects<br />
may appear blurry, distorted and<br />
slanted.<br />
Conjunctivitis (pink eye):<br />
Usually caused by a bacterial and<br />
contagious infection or an allergic<br />
reaction, conjunctivitis is the<br />
inflammation of the white outer<br />
surface of the eye and inner lining<br />
of the eyelids. The eye appears red<br />
or pink hence it’s called a pink eye. It<br />
also becomes itchy and irritated and<br />
discharge appears in both eyes.<br />
