SloveniaThe article discusses how children may have worsening vision but are often unaware of it, as changes in sight typically occur gradually. This can lead them to adapt their behavior, such as getting closer to books or losing focus while reading, which might be mistaken for fatigue or concentration issues. Dr. Boštjan Drev, an ophthalmologist from the Vidim Eye Center, emphasizes the importance of monitoring children’s vision, especially if they have risk factors like family history of myopia or early onset of nearsightedness. Myopia, or short-sightedness, is a common issue among schoolchildren, where they see nearby objects clearly but distant ones become blurry. The article highlights the need for early detection and management of vision problems, including the role of environmental factors like prolonged close work on screens.
