Defective Vision
Undetected defective vision frequently causes headaches in children. The pain is bilaterally symmetrical and occurs in the course of the forenoon, during the school day, or after long periods of strained vision. Characteristically, children begin to complain only after the strain is over and when they are not distracted any more, such as after watching television.
