Testing For Children and Young Adults

Children and youth could quickly develop nearsightedness after intensively reading books or watching computer screens. Testing visual acuity for early symptoms of nearsightedness every fortnight is good for introducing early preventative measurements, for example, reducing computer game times or maintaining adequate reading distance (15-25 in or 38-63 cm). Children and youth generally like sports, and wearing glasses is inconvenient. So you may record the test results, and if the scrores are dropping over weeks, such warning could give good mometum for introducing or strengthening preventative measurements
