While it is not uncommon for a child in preschool or even elementary school to reverse numbers/ letters. However, it is something you should have checked by an pediatric optometrist. Visual disorders such as saccadic eye movement disorders, problems with eye tracking, poor visual perception and visual processing disorders may cause difficulty with reading and other school subjects. While some visual conditions require eye glasses, many of these problems can be corrected through targeted vision therapy. If you or your child’s teacher are noticing these types of problems, please contact our office to schedule a comprehensive vision exam for your child.

This may require different glasses prescriptions depending on the blood sugar level that day. In addition, a child with diabetes may experience leakage of the blood vessels in the retina, in the back of the eye. A child with diabetes must have a dilated eye examination regularly to ensure no damage is occurring to the retina.
