Health Tip: Test Young Children for Vision Problems

(HealthDayNews) -- The sooner problems with vision are detected, the quicker a child can get the necessary treatment.

According to The Children''s Hospital of Philadelphia, some children are more at risk for vision problems. Your infant may be more prone if:

• She or he was born prematurely.
• There is a family history of vision problems.
• You had an infection during pregnancy.
• Your baby has heart disease or hearing problems.

If you suspect your baby is having difficulty seeing, consult your doctor.
