Synopsis: A paediatic eye test can be challenging at times.  Don’t overlook common eye problems in children that could be potential red flags. Signs and symptoms like frequent blinking, eye rubbing, unusual head tilt, headaches, dilated pupils, double vision, binocular vision dysfunction, reduced visual acuity may require a second look!  Things may not always be what they seem and a good history can help guide your diagnostic tests to make the most of the time you have with a child.  Then practical considerations for next steps including referral to tertiary care.
