Spilyay Tymoo, Warm Springs, Oregon December 24, 2014 Page 5 Doctor’s helpful notes on good eyesight by Dr. Lynette Dziuk Warm Springs Health & Wellness Optometry Department What does my glasses prescription mean? A refractive error is when the eye doesn’t bend light correctly, resulting in a blurred image. Nearsightedness, or myo- pia, is when an object that is close to you is seen clearly but distance ones are blurry. Farsightedness, or hypero- pia, is when distant objects are seen clearly but near ob- jects appear blurry. Astigmatism is when the cornea is curved more in one direction than the other, re- sulting in blurry vision. Astigmatism often occurs with farsightedness or near- sightedness. Presbyopia is a normal ag- ing process of the lens of the eye. When this occurs, you have difficulty focusing at close ranges and typically oc- cur after the age of 40. W hat ar e signs that m y child may need glasses? If your child is struggling at school, he or she may have an undiagnosed vision prob- lem. Often, when a child is un- able to see the board clearly or cannot focus on work at their desk, the child may be- come frustrated. Although screenings are done at school, your child may pass the requirements Tribal Council summary December 15, 2014 1.

Warm Springs For- ests Products Industry (WSFPI) Update: - Motion by Carlos to amend Tribal Council 2015 agenda. - W.S.F.P.I. follow up report to Tribal Council January 12, 2015 at 10 a.m. for that screening. If you notice any of the following signs, you should schedule a full eye exam: Squinting, tilting or turn- ing the head, sitting close to the television, losing place or using their finger while read- ing, covering one eye to read or watch TV, excessive tear- ing, rubbing eyes, light sensi- tivity, or frequent headaches. These are frequent signs noted with vision problems. Why does my child have one lens thicker than the other? Some children have a sig- nificant difference in prescrip- tion in each eye, and thus need different lens powers for each eye. The importance of wear- ing their glasses all the time is to avoid developing amblyo- pia or lazy eye. If untreated, amblyopia can cause decreased visual potential in one or both eyes. One main point to remem- ber is that your child will not have exactly the same pre- scription as you, so if you look through their glasses and feel it is too strong, it is that the prescription is not correct for you but is for your child.
