I had a nine-year-old boy come in last week for an examination. The mom related he was going to be tested for educational deficiencies. The child basically couldn't see any of the letters on the distant chart and had to hold print exceedingly close to read it.
When I examined the boy, I found he had a very low prescription. With this he was able to see the distant chart. More importantly, when I put the lenses in front of the boy while reading, the mom marveled at how he had never read this fluidly before. He was also reading at a normal distance.
In rare circumstances, a youngster's focusing system will spasm, both causing headaches and blurred vision at distance and near. A mild prescription in some of these cases makes all the difference in the world. It certainly did with this individual.
