If children are performing well in school, and do not show symptoms of eye problems, such as squinting, or frequent eye rubbing it is usually assumed that they have normal eyesight. However, when children have reading problems, teachers first suspect vision problems. Some schools have routine vision checks for all students but many do not.

There are three types of eye problems that are common both in children and adults.

A child may have hyperopia or far sightedness which means that their distance vision is normal but their close vision is poor. Children with hyperopia will have problems reading and will encounter eyestrain. This might result in headaches, eye pain, fatigue or nausea. These children will also start to tend to avoid and dislike reading. Signs that children have hyperopia are holding the reading material close to the nose and squinting. In moderate to severe cases, these children will need glasses for reading and close tasks. However, they will not have to wear glasses on the playground.

Recently, the police in Scotland discovered some amount of crystal meth. This substance is said to be the most addictive stuff in the world. The Scottish authorities are making effort to stop the meth epidemic, which is believed to be behind the violence experienced in some communities and families around Europe, Australia and US. It has destroyed or incapacitated so many people and has put the drug rehab and detox facilities under pressure.

In spite of the publicity against its use, the Scottish police discovered the substance in such a large quantity that surprised the authorities. The discovery of a large amount of the substance somewhere in Lerwick, Shetland was a poof of its presence in the country. This has now alerted the authorities that meth crystal availability if not checked will soon become an epidemic. Action is being taken to curtail the activities of youths who are engaged in home-grown cannabis.

Crystal meth is known in the street as ‘ice’. It is more addictive than cocaine. Its effect causes psychosis, a kind of mind-scrambling effect that propels the abusers into lack of self control. If you use it for a long time, your immune system begins to weaken leading to several devastating health conditions and eventual death.
