Dream - Children's eye health is an important aspect that is often overlooked by parents and educators. The situation becomes more complicated because children tend to not express vision problems, which can actually affect their academic achievements.
"In school age, children often do not express any eye problems that occur. It can be seen, for example, when a child sits in front, their grades are good, but when they sit at the back, their grades decrease. The sign is when we see a child squinting while studying, well, the teacher should tell the parents."

Children who have difficulty seeing from a distance may experience a decrease in performance because they cannot read the writing on the board. Problems can also arise because the child cannot clearly see instructions from their teacher.
The Influence of Vision on the Learning Process.
"If left untreated, this can lead to a decrease in learning motivation and have a significant impact on a child's learning process. 'It will definitely be disrupted, as 83 percent of sensory input is recorded through the sense of sight. The learning process will be greatly affected if there is a visual impairment,' said Samanta Elsener, Psychologist and Educator on the same occasion."
"Parent's Response to Children's Vision Problems"
Parents often do not realize that vision problems can be the cause of a child's declining academic performance. Sometimes, parents' reactions actually worsen the situation. "Sometimes parents scold their children because their eyes are blurry or sore, like you always watch TV, like you read books lying down. We should ask since when you have been experiencing blurry vision," added Samanta.
"Finding Solutions and Commitment"
When vision problems are identified, it is important to immediately conduct an examination and find the appropriate solution. "If there are signs that a child is experiencing blurry vision, rubbing their eyes, squinting, an examination should be performed when there are signs. Examinations for adults and children are certainly different. Examinations at Optik Tunggal Next Generation are tailored to children. The atmosphere also adjusts to children," said Wind Yulianto.
The following is the translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "Optik Tunggal Next Generation has Optometrists who have received special training in Paediatric Vision Screening from Centro Escolar University of Optometrists, Manila, Philippines. This training ensures that children receive accurate and comprehensive eye examinations, as well as the best recommendations for their visual needs. This optician also has handy ref technology, optotype, streak retinoscopy, phoropter, trial frame, and special lenses for children."
Next, after the child wears glasses, it is important to maintain a commitment so that the child continues to wear the glasses comfortably and confidently. There are several tips that parents can apply to ensure that the child remains confident and comfortable with their glasses.
1. Praise Children and Do Not Blame
Giving praise to a child can boost their self-confidence. "Try saying that their glasses are cool or funny, you look great with these glasses. If the child is under 12 years old, they really listen to their parents," said Samanta.
2. Parents Try to Give Examples
Sometimes children will imitate their parents. So parents can wear glasses even if their eyes are not problematic so that the child doesn't feel alone. "Sometimes when children see their parents, they want to mirror them, so parents can try wearing glasses," added Samanta.
3. Let the Child Choose Their Glasses
Giving children the freedom to choose their own glasses can increase their sense of ownership and comfort. Singer Cynthia Lamusu also gives freedom for children to choose glasses so that they are more enthusiastic about wearing them. "When Bima wore glasses for 15 months, he was more resigned, but when Tatiana wore glasses at the age of 3, we gave her a choice because when she was chosen, she became lazy to wear them. So I tried to let her choose, and finally, when it was her own choice, she became confident," said Cynthia Lamusu on the same occasion.
"Seeing the importance of good vision from an early age for the growth and development of children. Optik Tunggal also helps children with congenital cataracts to get access to the special glasses they need. 'We provide free special glasses to underprivileged families in Indonesia for the better future of Indonesian children,' said Alexander F Kurniawan, Chief Executive Officer of Optik Tunggal on the same occasion."
