A couple of signs that Syifa had shown us:
i) She frequently rub her eyes.
ii) She easily despair when playing 'Spot the Different Games' and 'Hidden Object Games' - she had poor focusing.
iii) She had told us about her inability to see objects at a distance in classrooms.
iv) Tired sign when she came back from school.
v) She encountered frequent headaches.
vi) She experienced almost fainted in playground - perhaps due to sweltering conditions.
All of the above signs had triggered me to bring her for vision check-up. But as I said, I kept on delaying until eventually school's was having the screening.
