A child with vision loss might:

1. Close or cover one eye
2. Squint the eyes or frown
3. Complain that things are blurry or hard to see
4. Have trouble reading or doing other close-up work, or hold objects close to eyes in order to see
5. Blink more than usual or seem cranky when doing close-up work (such as looking at books).
6. One eye of a child with vision loss could look out or cross. One or both eyes could be watery, and one or both of the child’s eyelids could also look red-rimmed, crusted, or swollen.
