The most common refractive disorder in children is hyperopia (farsightedness). Symptoms include reports of objects being unclear at close range and clearer at a distance. Younger children may have trouble focusing on a project that requires close vision work. The nurse should suggest that the child have a routine eye examination. The other options may or may not be beneficial, but do not address the potential visual problem.
