Vision problems can develop at any time but are most noticeable during preschool and school-age; this is because, during this time of discovery and knowledge, children need more of their sense organs, especially when they must see the blackboard or learn to read.
The most common vision problem is myopia. It is vital to screen when starting preschool because this ensures that the child has all the necessary skills to learn and make the most of this stage of knowledge; otherwise, their development will be below average.
Hearing loss or hearing impairment directly affects communication and social skills, as well as speech and language. The earlier these disorders are detected, the less cognitive consequences they will have.
