Later he continued suffering from this ailment, I realized that it happened more when he did his homework, or he spent a lot of time on the computer or watching TV; in that I ask him if he saw well? and he tells me if I only want the small letters to be difficult for me; I tell him to read me a paragraph of his book and I noticed that it was very close to his eyes to read; I kept watching him with the days and until his cell phone the letters make them big, more than what one usually places them.

In such situation I say to my husband, I believe that the child needs glasses; and he tells me it's not worth that, it's regulated over time. I was that small and now I see very well. I am left thinking, but still with that sixth sense of mother.

A few days passed and as I kept coming from classes with a headache, I decide to take an appointment with the ophthalmologist, I take it; the doctor examines it and indeed my son has Hyperopia, Astigmatism and can give him, if he is not corrected in time, strabismus.

I will give you a brief concept of each one:

HYPERMETROPIA: it is not to see closely, that is to say, that the eye does not perceive the light well and its image is blurred, the objects from afar are clear and close up they are blurred. We do not all experience the same hyperopia; some can present it from an early age and have a not so clear view either near or far.

ASTIGMATISM: the case may be presented of not seeing well either near or far, depending on the structure of the cornea and its focus to light, which causes the lens to become distorted, that is, the image that is observed is the opposite of what is actually projected. This reaction is hereditary and almost everyone can suffer it.

STRATEGY: when the eyes see in different directions, that is, they are not centered correctly, one of the eyes, either the right or the left, can be aligned, while the other sees the other side, down, up, stuck in one side or the other; they can vary in direction and even both could be aligned correctly and then deviate one of them. It usually occurs when one eye is stronger than the other, since the vision is too small for the eye that is prone to suffer this alteration.

Well friends I left after this a bit sad, and super worried about strabismus (although the doctor explained that the lenses avoid affecting the direction of his right eye), because I think my son had trouble seeing well, Thank God I did not affect his academic performance but he did force his vision a lot. Dad did not want me to wear glasses because sometimes teens are usually cruel and there is a lot of bullying, but good today there are modern mounts and my son chose the one he liked the most so he will use it happy.

Sometimes because we believe that our children are 100% healthy, or that the remedy can be worse than the disease, we let many things happen; Thank God that is curable and because with his lenses he will improve remarkably and when it is bigger it can be operated; But if it had been something more serious? for letting it go, he may not have had a cure.

So parents take my experience as an advice in time, and pay attention to your child when he suffers from some pain, it is better to be something temporary and spend in a consultation than to let it go and that becomes something more serious and incurable.
