HIS PRECIOUS EYES

This early morning i received a bulletin from babycenter.com on this issue;

"How can I tell if there's a problem with my toddler's vision?"

His Dadda starts to wear glasses since primary school. His Momma is a short-sighted at 2nine years old.

How about Oman?

Let's hear it from babycenter.com!

*****************************************

Your child is too young to know that he could have a vision problem, so you'll want to be vigilant about noticing signs of potential trouble. Contact his doctor if your child:

• needs you to hold books very close when you read to him

Momma: Alhamdulillah, Oman is keeping normal distance when reading his Animal's book.

• squints often

Momma: Nope!

• tilts his head to see better (while looking at a picture, for example)

Momma: Nope!

• rubs his eyes when he's not sleepy

Momma: When Oman rubbed his eyes, Yes..he is sleepy.

• seems to tear excessively

Momma: His tears fall down heavily when crying. I dunno how to judge 'excessively'.

• closes one eye to see better (while looking at a book, for example)

Momma: Nope.

• avoids close, near-vision activity, like scribbling

Momma: Owh he loves to chase the ants closely with his eyes. :)

• avoids distance-vision activities, like watching birds or planes

Momma: So far i think he's very very alert in watching distance objects, such as VOM VOM.. sebatu jauhnya dia dah jerit-jerit excited. Hihi

• seems overly sensitive to light

Momma: Hmm.. a little bit yes at this point. Nah.. but not overly.

• looks cross-eyed, or his eyes don't seem to work in unison

Momma: Nope

• has redness in his eyes that doesn't go away in a few days, sometimes accompanied by pain or sensitivity to light

Momma: Nope

• seems especially clumsy

Momma: Nope

• has a persistent, unusual spot in his eyes in photos taken with a flash (instead of the common red-eye, for example, there's a white spot)

Momma: Nope

• has a droopy eyelid that won't ever fully open

Momma: Nope

• has white, grayish-white, or yellow-colored material in the pupil of his eye

Momma: Checked. Nope!

• has bulging eyes

Momma: Uish! Nope

• has pus or crust in either eye

Momma: Nope

• has any other change in the appearance of his eyes

Momma: Nope... Errr... but sometime mata dia jadi sepet. Napa ntah.

• complains of eye pain or discomfort

Momma: Yang ni Dadda dia selalu. Oman x pandai complaint lagi. Hihi

Your child's doctor can help you determine whether you should be concerned. She may examine your child's eyes, screen his vision, or refer you to an eye specialist (ophthalmologist).

Momma: Extremely agree. Even without signs listed above, if we parents see something unusual with our kids precious eyes, cepat-cepatla mendapatkan nasihat doctor yer. :)

*****************************************

Harapnya Oman tidakla mengikuti jejak langkah Dadda and Momma.
Kot-Kot Oman teringin nak pakai spec.. dun worry. Momma sedia melaksanakannya.
Bisa diatur dong ah! :)

Dah pernah ape.... Ngeeeeee...

p/s: I'll be away to Cherating for 2 days since tomorrow. Sob! Sob! Sedeynyer...... May Dadda and Oman baik-baik aja. Aamin!!

XOXO,
